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.
Heartburn – This is the most common symptom. It feels like a burning sensation in the center of the chest.
But for many others it is due to their obesity, smoking habit, depression, less physical activity, eating more acidity food, not eating on time, some diseases and many other factors.
Here we need to combine both diagnosis and code K21.00. Heartburn and dyspepsia will not be coded as both are symptoms of GERD.
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.
