R19.5 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other fecal abnormalities. The code R19.5 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.

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.
In addition, coders may see Excludes1 note at K56 that excludes intestinal obstruction with these conditions.
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.
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:
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.
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.
