Gastroesophageal Junction ICD-10-CM Neoplasms Index. The ICD-10-CM Neoplasms Index is designed to allow medical coders to look up various medical terms and connect them with the appropriate ICD codes. There are 0 terms under the parent term 'Gastroesophageal Junction' in the ICD-10-CM Neoplasms Index .
Objective: The clinical significance of chronic inflammation at the gastroesophageal junction (carditis) is unknown: it may be associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) gastritis or with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). We aimed to examine the association between carditis and H. pylori gastritis and endoscopic erosive esophagitis.
Gastritis, chronic. Gastritis, chronic antral without hemorrhage. ICD-10-CM K29.50 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 391 Esophagitis, gastroenteritis and miscellaneous digestive disorders with mcc. 392 Esophagitis, gastroenteritis and miscellaneous digestive disorders without mcc.

ICD-10 Code for Gastro-esophageal reflux disease with esophagitis- K21.
Esophagitis (uh-sof-uh-JIE-tis) is inflammation that may damage tissues of the esophagus, the muscular tube that delivers food from your mouth to your stomach. Esophagitis can cause painful, difficult swallowing and chest pain.
- K21.9 (gastro-esophageal reflux disease. without esophagitis)
ICD-10 code K21. 9 for Gastro-esophageal reflux disease without esophagitis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
K21. 0 - Gastro-esophageal reflux disease with esophagitis | ICD-10-CM.
Reflux esophagitis is an esophageal mucosal injury that occurs secondary to retrograde flux of gastric contents into the esophagus. Clinically, this is referred to as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

K21. 9 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 K21. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K21.0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A chronic disorder characterized by reflux of the gastric and/or duodenal contents into the distal esophagus. It is usually caused by incompetence of the lower esophageal sphincter. Symptoms include heartburn and acid indigestion. It may cause injury to the esophageal mucosa.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K21.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The backward flow of stomach acid contents into the esophagus (the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach). Your esophagus is the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) happens when a muscle at the end of your esophagus does not close properly.
When the SCJ is located proximal to the GEJ, there is a columnar-lined segment of esophagus. If biopsy specimens of the columnar-lined segment show specialized intestinal metaplasia, the patient has Barrett’s esophagus. (Reprinted with permission from Spechler SJ.
Although authorities dispute the normal features of the GEJ, all seem to agree that it is abnormal to find intestinal metaplasia in this region .
Patients with intestinal metaplasia at the GEJ should not have routine testing for H. pylori infection unless there is a clear indication, such as a verified history of peptic ulcer disease. In our patient, H. pylori organisms were identified incidentally in biopsy specimens taken at the Z-line. In this situation, antibiotic treatment may be recommended with the rationale that the infection is both a risk factor for peptic ulcer disease and a potential gastric carcinogen. Data suggesting that H. pylori eradication may exacerbate GERD are weak and unconvincing, and any potential exacerbation could almost certainly be controlled by adjusting the antisecretory therapy. Furthermore, there is no established role for the routine prescription of NSAIDs for chemoprevention in patients who have intestinal metaplasia at the GEJ.
Furthermore, fundoplication cannot be recommended solely as a cancer-preventive procedure even for patients with verified Barrett’s esophagus, and certainly should not be recommended for this purpose in patients who have intestinal metaplasia at the GEJ.
Endoscopic surveillance for curable neoplasia is not recommended routinely for patients with nondysplastic intestinal metaplasia of the stomach because their risk of cancer appears to be too low to justify an expensive and potentially hazardous procedure with no proved efficacy in reducing gastric cancer mortality.
For patients, like ours, who have intestinal metaplasia at the GEJ associated with GERD, acid-suppressing medications should be administered at least in dosages sufficient to control the symptoms of reflux disease. Many patients with intestinal metaplasia at the GEJ have few or no clinical manifestations of GERD, however, and it is not clear that any antisecretory therapy is indicated in those cases.
Histologically, intestinal metaplasia in the stomach can be indistinguishable from intestinal metaplasia in the esophagus. Since the GEJ cannot be identified with great precision, it can be difficult to determine whether short segments of intestinal metaplasia found in the GEJ region are lining the esophagus (short-segment Barrett’s esophagus) or the proximal stomach (intestinal metaplasia of the gastric cardia).
