The patient's primary diagnostic code is the most important. Assuming the patient's primary diagnostic code is Z76. 89, look in the list below to see which MDC's "Assignment of Diagnosis Codes" is first.
K62 - Other diseases of anus and rectum.
0 Polyp of corpus uteri.
578.1 - Blood in stool. ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10 code: K57. 92 Diverticulitis of intestine, part unspecified, without perforation, abscess or bleeding.
ICD-10 code N84. 1 for Polyp of cervix uteri is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
Polypectomy is a minimally invasive procedure in which doctors remove abnormal growths of tissue, called polyps, from inside your colon. The exam is done through hysteroscopy. In surgery, we have separate CPT code 58558, used for reporting polypectomy through hysteroscopy.
Introduction. Polypoid adenomyoma of the uterus is an endometrial polyp in which the stromal component is made up of smooth muscle [1]. These are benign tumors and account for 1.3% of all endometrial polyps. Polypoid adenomyomas are of mixed epithelial and mesenchymal origin [2].
K62. 5 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Rectal bleeding is when blood passes from the rectum or anus. Bleeding may be noted on the stool or be seen as blood on toilet paper or in the toilet. The blood may be bright red. The term "hematochezia" is used to describe this finding.

The primary (or first-listed) diagnosis code billed describes the chief reason why the service is being done, which can affect the processing and benefit level for the service. This is one of many reasons that it is critical to accurately select the diagnosis code when submitting claims for these services.
If an abnormality is encountered or a problem existing prior to this visit is addressed in the process of performing the preventive medicine evaluation, CPT guidelines define the documentation and coding requirements for reporting an additional problem-oriented E/M service in combination with the preventive E/M service code.
“Selection of Principle Diagnosis: The circumstances of inpatient admission always govern the selection of principle diagnosis. The principle diagnosis is defined in the Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set (UHDDS) as “that condition established after study to be chiefly responsible for occasioning the admission of the patient to the hospital for care.” …In determining the principle diagnosis, coding conventions in the ICD-10-CM, the Tabular List and Alphabetical Index take precedence over these official [UHDDS] guidelines.” (Optum7)
Similarly, ICD-10 diagnosis codes in chapter 21 (beginning with “Z”) are not automatically considered routine/preventive; some will be considered medical diagnosis codes. The determination is based upon the code description, not merely in which section of the code set the diagnosis code is found.
