Melena is the passage of black, tarry stools. Hematochezia is the passage of fresh blood per anus, usually in or with stools.
Melena refers to black stools that occur as a result of gastrointestinal bleeding. This bleeding typically originates from the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine.
ICD-10 code R19. 5 for Other fecal abnormalities is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 578.1 was previously used, K92.1 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
Another twist is that Coding Clinic, Second Quarter 2008, page 15, points out Inclusion Terms listed in the Tabular also act as nonessential modifiers, stating GI bleeding due to acute ischemic colitis would be reported with one code, 557.0, Acute vascular insufficiency of intestine. The term hemorrhagic is an Inclusion Term listed under code 557, indicating hemorrhage, is an integral part of this disease process. An additional code to identify GI bleeding is not assigned.
Examination of the thought process involved in code selection for conditions associated with gastrointestinal bleeding requires knowledge to navigate the twists and turns through coding conventions, guidelines and Coding Clinic advice, as well as the ability to decipher “clinical speak” into “code speak.” On top of everything else, a coder is always focused on the end goal of reporting an accurate account of the patient condition and the care provided. It is like working a bouncing pinball down the table for the highest score.
Nonessential modifiers throw a couple twists into the code selection process. They are supplementary terms, enclosed in parentheses, found in both the Index and Tabular. The presence or absence of these terms in physician documentation has no impact on the code, but add to the thought process in determining the need for additional codes.
Assign the default code, 280.0 Anemia secondary to blood loss in the absence of documentation on the acuity of blood loss anemia.
If the clinical picture and documentation identify the diagnosis of acute and chronic blood loss anemia, it is appropriate to code both 285.1 Acute blood loss anemia and 280.0 Chronic blood loss anemia.
GI bleeding can be grouped into what is known as “fast bleed” and “slow bleed.” Using this concept, fast bleed can usually point to an acute blood loss anemia, where as a slow bleed usually points to an intermittent or a chronic blood loss anemia. It is possible for a slow bleed to develop into a fast bleed, or both conditions can exist in the same patient at the same time but at different sites. It is possible for a patient to have chronic blood loss anemia and acute blood loss anemia at the same time
In the setting of rectal bleeding with hemorrhoids, without physician documentation of a causal relationship between the hemorrhoids and rectal bleeding, Coding Clinic, Third Quarter 2005, page 17, states to query the physician for clarification as to whether the hemorrhoids are the source of the bleed or an incidental finding.
