Intestinal obstruction. Obstruction (the most common complication of Crohn's disease) may arise from swelling and the formation of scar tissue. The result is thickening of the bowel wall and a narrowed intestinal passage. These narrowed areas are called strictures.
How is bowel obstruction coded in ICD-10-CM?Obstruction:K56.69 Other intestinal obstruction.In addition, certain conditions will include a “with” notation and code within the index. See Adhesions entry below from the index:with intestinal obstruction K56.50.

ICD-10 | Crohn's disease of small intestine without complications (K50. 00)
A small bowel obstruction is a blockage in the small intestine. Small bowel obstructions are usually caused by scar tissue, hernia, or cancer. In the United States, most obstructions occur as a result of prior surgeries. The bowel often forms bands of scar (called adhesions) after being handled during an operation.
560.9ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 560.9 : Unspecified intestinal obstruction.
The bowel is part of the digestive system. It is made up of the small bowel (small intestine) and the large bowel (colon and rectum). The small bowel is longer than the large bowel but it gets its name from the fact it is much narrower than the large bowel.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code Z87. 19: Personal history of other diseases of the digestive system.
Closed loop obstruction occurs when a segment of bowel is incarcerated at two contiguous points. The diagnosis is based on multiple transitional zones. The incarcerated loops appear in U or C form or present a radial layout around the location of the obstruction.
Crohn's disease most commonly affects the colon and the last part of the small intestine (ileum). Ulcerative colitis affects only the colon. In Crohn's disease, any part of your small or large intestine can be involved, and it may be continuous or may involve multiple segments.

ICD-10-CM K51. 90 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 385 Inflammatory bowel disease with mcc. 386 Inflammatory bowel disease with cc.
When to use CPT code 74245 & 74249. As per the above code description, it is very clear that small intestine is examined along with upper GI tract for small bowel follow through exam.
Ileus defined as nonmechanical obstruction of bowel usually secondary to inhibition of peristalsis. Small bowel obstruction defined as mechanical obstruction of small bowel due to adhesions, mass, volvulus or other internal or external compression.
For single contrast small bowel follow through study use CPT code 74240, +74248 and for double contrast small bowel follow through study use CPT code 74246, +74248. The codes for small intestine exams with multiple serial images will also see revisions. Both 74250 and 74251 will include scout abdominal radiographs.

K50.818 Crohn's disease of both small and large intestine with other complication. K50.819 Crohn's disease of both small and large intestine with unspecified complications. K50.9 Crohn's disease, unspecified.
Potential symptoms include persistent diarrhea, cramping, abdominal pain, fever, rectal bleeding, fatigue, loss of appetite, and weight loss.
Crohn’s disease can occur at any age, but usually occurs between the ages of 15-35. The location of the Crohn’s disease, as well as any complication or manifestation, are important to code selection, as follows: K50.00 Crohn’s disease of small intestine without complication.
K50.80 Crohn’s disease of both small and large intestine without complications. K50.811 Crohn’s disease of both small and large intestine with rectal bleeding. K50.812 Crohn’s disease of both small and large intestine with intestinal obstruction. K50.813 Crohn’s disease of both small and large intestine with fistula.
A condition in which the gastrointestinal tract is inflamed over a long period of time. Crohn disease usually affects the small intestine and colon. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, stomach cramps, vomiting, and weight loss. Crohn disease increases the risk of colorectal cancer and small intestine cancer. It is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (ibd).
Crohn disease most commonly involves the terminal ileum; the colon is the second most common site of involvement. Crohn's disease causes inflammation of the digestive system. It is one of a group of diseases called inflammatory bowel disease. The disease can affect any area from the mouth to the anus.
Gastrointestinal disorder characterized by chronic inflammatory infiltrates, fibrosis affecting all layers of the serosa, and development of noncaseating granulomas; most common site of involvement is the terminal ileum with the colon as the second most common.

Bleeding from the rectum, weight loss, joint pain, skin problems and fever may also occur. Children with the disease may have growth problems. Other problems can include intestinal blockage and malnutrition.treatment may include medicines, nutrition supplements, surgery or a combination of these options.
The disease can affect any area from the mouth to the anus. It often affects the lower part of the small intestine called the ileum. Crohn's disease seems to run in some families. It can occur in people of all age groups but is most often diagnosed in young adults. Common symptoms are pain in the abdomen and diarrhea.
If the physician documents a large intestine obstruction for example, and does not find a specific cause, then the unspecified code, K56.609, Unspecified intestinal obstruction, unspecified as to partial versus complete obstruction is assigned. There is no condition associated with it so it is unspecified.
Mechanical bowel obstruction can be caused by a number of conditions. Some of the most common causes are: 1 Adhesions or scar tissue that forms after surgery 2 Foreign bodies (objects that are swallowed and block the intestines) 3 Gallstones (rare) 4 Hernias 5 Impacted stool 6 Intussusception (telescoping of one segment of bowel into another) 7 Tumors blocking the intestines 8 Volvulus (twisted intestine)
So given the above, if a patient has intestinal obstruction due to adhesions, only code K56.50, intestinal adhesions [bands], unspecified as to partial versus complete obstruction would be assigned, not two codes.
This is to help relieve abdominal swelling (distention) and vomiting. Volvulus of the large bowel may be treated by passing a tube into the rectum.
Some of the most common causes are: Adhesions or scar tissue that forms after surgery. Foreign bodies (objects that are swallowed and block the intestines) Gallstones (rare) Hernias. Impacted stool. Intussusception (telescoping of one segment of bowel into another) Tumors blocking the intestines.
When there is a condition in which the bowel does not work correctly, but there is no structural problem causing it, it is called “ileus.”. We are going to talk about mechanical bowel obstruction in this coding tip. Mechanical bowel obstruction can be caused by a number of conditions. Some of the most common causes are:
In the past, bowel obstruction was almost always coded as a diagnosis as the physician usually addressed the condition and did work up as to the cause, many times addressing the cause also. However that has changed as the coder will see in this coding tip.
