K21. 9 - Gastro-esophageal reflux disease without esophagitis. ICD-10-CM.

The terms heartburn, acid reflux, and GERD are often used interchangeably. They actually have very different meanings. Acid reflux is a common medical condition that can range in severity from mild to serious. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the chronic, more severe form of acid reflux.
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus irritating the tissue. Heartburn, or acid indigestion, is a symptom of acid reflux, so named because the esophagus lies just behind the heart, and that is where the burning sensation is felt.

The most common cause is food that's acidic or high in fat—like citrus fruits, tomatoes, onions, chocolate, coffee, cheese, and peppermint. Spicy foods or large meals can also be the root of distress. Other sources of heartburn include aspirin or ibuprofen, as well as some sedatives and blood pressure medications.
The bottom line. Occasional acid reflux isn't usually associated with long-term or serious complications. However, when acid reflux occurs frequently and is left untreated, it can lead to conditions such as esophagitis, ulcers, strictures, aspiration pneumonia, and Barrett's esophagus.
Eating large meals or eating late at night. Eating certain foods (triggers) such as fatty or fried foods. Drinking certain beverages, such as alcohol or coffee. Taking certain medications, such as aspirin.
Ways To Prevent Acid RefluxAvoid trigger foods.Avoiding eating two to three hours before bedtime.Eat a balanced diet rich in fruit, protein and vegetables.Maintain a healthy weight.Sit or stand up after eating, and avoid laying down.Sleep on an incline. Elevate your head 6 to 8 inches higher than your feet.Quit smoking.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E87.2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A disorder characterized by abnormally high acidity (high hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues. A pathologic condition of acid accumulation or depletion of base in the body. The two main types are respiratory acidosis and metabolic acidosis, due to metabolic acid build up.
An abnormally high acidity of the blood and other body tissues. Acidosis can be either respiratory or metabolic.
The two main types are respiratory acidosis and metabolic acidosis, due to metabolic acid build up. A state due to excess retention of carbon dioxide in the body. Acid base imbalance resulting from an accumulation of carbon dioxide secondary to hypoventilation.
It may occur spontaneously or in association with diseases such as diabetes mellitus, leukemia, or liver failure. Acidosis caused by accumulation of lactic acid more rapidly than it can be metabolized; may occur spontaneously or in association with diseases such as diabetes mellitus, leukemia, or liver failure.
ICD-10 (short for International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition) is a clinical documentation and cataloging system owned by the World Health organization which consists of thousands of codes, where each code represents critical information about the different diseases, findings, causes of injuries, symptoms, possible treatments, and epidemiology, playing a vital role in enabling advancements in clinical treatment and medication.
Frequent acid reflux is the major cause of GERD. The stomach acid flows back into the esophagus when the sphincter (a band of muscle at the bottom of the esophagus that allows liquid and food to flow into your stomach), acts abnormally and gets weak. The constant backwash of acid irritates the lining of your esophagus, often causing it to become inflamed.
Reflux-induced precancerous lesions or esophageal cancer is the last stage of GERD which results from years of untreated severe reflux. This is often attributed to a precancerous condition called Barrett’s esophagus and can lead to cancer if left untreated.
GERD is short for Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease which occurs when stomach acids flow back from the stomach into the esophagus, the tube that connects your mouth to the stomach. This acid reflux has a knack for irritating the lining of the esophagus.
Stage 1 describes the mild GERD cases where mild symptoms are observed once or twice a month. Stage 1 GERD can be treated with changes in lifestyle and suppressive medication.
ICD serves as a foundation to identify clinical trends and statistics globally. Diseases, injuries, disorders, and all health conditions are listed comprehensively and organized into standard groupings allowing health care providers from around the world to compare and share information using the ICD codes.
The condition ranges from mild acid reflux to moderate and severe acid reflux (more on this later). GERD is not a life-threatening condition and is often managed with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications.
ICD code will be K21.9. Chest pain will not be coded here as it is documented as a symptom. If it is not documented as a symptom we would be coding R07.9 as well in the same scenario.
Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a digestive system disorder in which the stomach acid flows back to esophagus. This can damage the tissue lining of esophagus and makes it difficult to pass food. It is a common digestive system disorder affecting millions of people throughout the world.
But for many others it is due to their obesity, smoking habit, depression, less physical activity, eating more acidity food, not eating on time, some diseases and many other factors.
Dyspepsia –Some patients may also feel stomach discomfort, bloating, burping or nausea. Chest pain –This symptom can get confused with cardiac chest pain. So, chest pain ICD should be coded if not mentioned as related to reflux.
Here we need to combine both diagnosis and code K21.00. Heartburn and dyspepsia will not be coded as both are symptoms of GERD.
