Z codes may be used as either a first-listed (principal diagnosis code in the inpatient setting) or secondary code, depending on the circumstances of the encounter. Certain Z codes may only be used as first-listed or principal diagnosis.
Z76. 89 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
11 or Z51. 12 is the only diagnosis on the line, then the procedure or service will be denied because this diagnosis should be assigned as a secondary diagnosis. When the Primary, First-Listed, Principal or Only diagnosis code is a Sequela diagnosis code, then the claim line will be denied.
GERD is caused by frequent acid reflux or reflux of nonacidic content from the stomach. When you swallow, a circular band of muscle around the bottom of your esophagus (lower esophageal sphincter) relaxes to allow food and liquid to flow into your stomach. Then the sphincter closes again.
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.

00 for Gastro-esophageal reflux disease with esophagitis, without bleeding is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
avoiding alcohol and spicy, fatty or acidic foods that trigger heartburn
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. This allows stomach contents to leak back, or reflux, into the esophagus and irritate it. You may feel a burning in the chest or throat called heartburn. Sometimes, you can taste stomach fluid in the back of the mouth. This is acid indigestion. If you have these symptoms more than twice a week, you may have gerd. Anyone, including infants and children, can have gerd. If not treated, it can lead to more serious health problems. In some cases, you might need medicines or surgery. However, many people can improve their symptoms by#N#avoiding alcohol and spicy, fatty or acidic foods that trigger heartburn#N#eating smaller meals#N#not eating close to bedtime#N#losing weight if needed#N#wearing loose-fitting clothes 1 avoiding alcohol and spicy, fatty or acidic foods that trigger heartburn 2 eating smaller meals 3 not eating close to bedtime 4 losing weight if needed 5 wearing loose-fitting clothes
Symptoms include heartburn and acid indigestion. Retrograde flow of gastric juice (gastric acid) and/or duodenal contents (bile acids; pancreatic juice) into the distal esophagus, commonly due to incompetence of the lower esophageal sphincter.
GERD is characterized by symptoms and/or tissue damage that results from repeated or prolonged exposure of the lining of the esophagus to contents from the stomach. If tissue damage is present, the individual is said to have esophagitis or erosive GERD. The presence of symptoms with no evident tissue damage is referred to as non-erosive GERD.
Acid regurgitation (refluxed material into the mouth) is another common symptom. But numerous less common symptoms other than heartburn may be associated with GERD. These may include belching, difficulty or pain when swallowing, waterbrash, dysphagia (the sensation of food sticking in the esophagus), chronic sore throat, laryngitis, ...
Barrett’s esophagus is a condition in which the lining of the esophagus changes, becoming more like the lining of the small intestine rather than the esophagus. This occurs in the area where the esophagus is joined to the stomach. Hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach moves up into the chest through a small opening in ...
GERD is a mild acid reflux that occurs at least twice a week, or moderate to severe acid reflux that occurs at least once a week.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach (esophagus). This backwash (acid reflux) can irritate the lining of your esophagus. Many people experience acid reflux from time to time.
Treatment of GERD. Your doctor is likely to recommend that you first try lifestyle modifications and over-the-counter medications. If you don’t experience relief within a few weeks, your doctor might recommend prescription medication or surgery.
Most people can manage the discomfort of GERD with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications. Several conditions may be associated with GERD including Barrett’s esophagus and hiatal hernia. Barrett’s esophagus is a condition in which the lining of the esophagus changes, becoming more like the lining of the small intestine rather than the esophagus. This occurs in the area where the esophagus is joined to the stomach. Hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach moves up into the chest through a small opening in the diaphragm.
I would think you could assign a v code if it is stated as a personal history. The only one I could find was v12.29 other endoctrine, metabolic & immunity disorders. I am still a student so I am curious also.
If the patient is not being treated for this condition during this admission, you shouldn't use "history of".
Z87.19 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of personal history of other diseases of the digestive system. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code Z87.19 and a single ICD9 code, V12.79 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires medical coders to indicate whether or not a condition was present at the time of admission, in order to properly assign MS-DRG codes.
Yes. N. Diagnosis was not present at time of inpatient admission. No. U. Documentation insufficient to determine if the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission. No. W. Clinically undetermined.
