Barrett's esophagus. K22.7 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM K22.7 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of K22.7 - other international versions of ICD-10 K22.7 may differ.
K22.70 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K22.70 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Through the process of metaplasia, the squamous cells are replaced by a columnar epithelium with cells resembling those of the intestine or the salmon-pink mucosa of the stomach. Barrett's columnar epithelium is a marker for severe reflux and precursor to adenocarcinoma of the esophagus.
Barrett's oesophagus or Barrett's mucosa is a condition which occurs in approximately 10% of patients who suffer with long-term acid reflux. It is thought to be a protective mechanism against the pain of the reflux. It is not clear why some people develop it and many others do not.
There are three stages of Barrett's esophagus, which range from intestinal metaplasia without dysplasia to high-grade dysplasia. Dysplasia signifies the presence of abnormal cell growth within bodily tissue.
Intestinal metaplasia can develop any place where squamous mucosa is normally found. When intestinal metaplasia replaces the squamous mucosa of the esophagus, it is called Barrett's esophagus.
The stages, or grades, of Barrett's are: Non-dysplastic, Indefinite, Low grade Dysplasia, and High Grade Dysplasia, which can lead to Intramucosal Carcinoma.
Having a hiatal hernia also raises the risk of developing Barrett's esophagus. A hiatal hernia causes the upper portion of the stomach to bulge into the chest cavity through an opening, or hiatus, in the diaphragm—the muscular wall that separates the chest and abdomen.
Barrett's oesophagus is a medical condition where some of the cells in your oesophagus grow abnormally. If you have Barrett's oesophagus you are slightly more likely to get oesophageal cancer. But this is not common. It is sometimes called a pre-cancerous condition.
Barrett's esophagus is a change in your cells lining your esophagus (food tube). It's more common in people with acid reflux (GERD), but can develop without having GERD. Management ranges from monitoring your esophageal lining with endoscopies to treatments to remove damaged tissue.
Background & aims: Many patients with a < 1 cm segment of columnar metaplasia in the distal esophagus, also called an irregular Z line, are encountered. These patients, often referred to as patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE), are enrolled in surveillance programs.
History. The condition is named after Australian thoracic surgeon Norman Barrett (1903–1979), who in 1950 argued that "ulcers are found below the squamocolumnar junction ... represent gastric ulcers within 'a pouch of stomach … drawn up by scar tissue into the mediastinum' ...

Barrett's esophagus is associated with an increased risk of developing esophageal cancer. Although the risk of developing esophageal cancer is small, it's important to have regular checkups with careful imaging and extensive biopsies of the esophagus to check for precancerous cells (dysplasia).
Continuous treatment with omeprazole 20 mg daily for up to 6 years in Barrett's oesophagus.
Barrett's columnar epithelium is a marker for severe reflux and precursor to adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. Esophageal lesion lined with columnar metaplastic epithelium which is flat or villiform. Barrett epithelium is characterized by two different types of cells: goblet cells and columnar cells. The symptomatology of barrett esophagus is that ...
hiatus hernia ( K44.-) esophageal varices ( I85.-) malignant neoplasm of esophagus ( C15.-) A condition in which the cells lining the lower part of the esophagus have changed or been replaced with abnormal cells that could lead to cancer of the esophagus.
A condition with damage to the lining of the lower esophagus resulting from chronic acid reflux (esophagitis, reflux). Through the process of metaplasia, the squamous cells are replaced by a columnar epithelium with cells resembling those of the intestine or the salmon-pink mucosa of the stomach.
malignant neoplasm of esophagus ( C15.-) A condition in which the cells lining the lower part of the esophagus have changed or been replaced with abnormal cells that could lead to cancer of the esophagus. The backing up of stomach contents (reflux) may irritate the esophagus and, over time, cause barrett's esophagus.
esophageal varices ( I85.-) malignant neoplasm of esophagus ( C15.-) A condition in which the cells lining the lower part of the esophagus have changed or been replaced with abnormal cells that could lead to cancer of the esophagus.
Hiatal hernia. Paraesophageal hernia. Clinical Information. A congenital or acquired weakness or opening in the diaphragm which allows abdominal contents to protrude into the chest cavity; congenital diaphragmatic hernias are caused when the embryonic diaphragm fails to fuse.
Hernia with both gangrene and obstruction is classified to hernia with gangrene. A congenital or acquired weakness or opening in the diaphragm which allows abdominal contents to protrude into the chest cavity; congenital diaphragmatic hernias are caused when the embryonic diaphragm fails to fuse.
