ICD-10-CM Code for Unilateral inguinal hernia, with obstruction, without gangrene K40.3. ... If you need surgery to repair the hernia, you’ll be referred to a general surgeon. In fact, ventral hernia repairs are one of the most common operations U.S. general surgeons perform.
You may not avoid a hiatal hernia entirely, but you can avoid making a hernia worse by:
Yes, Medicare helps cover hernia surgery in most cases. Medicare Part B generally covers 80 percent of the cost of outpatient medical services, like hernia surgery, after you meet your deductible. This cost may include a physician fee, facility services, anesthesia and prescription drugs for post-surgery pain relief.
Q40. 1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Q40. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.

ICD-10-PCS will be the official system of assigning codes to procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. ICD-10-PCS codes will support data collection, payment and electronic health records. ICD-10-PCS is a medical classification coding system for procedural codes.
ICD-10-PCS 0DJW0ZZ converts approximately to: 2015 ICD-9-CM Procedure 54.11 Exploratory laparotomy.
Repair Procedures on the Abdomen, Peritoneum, and Omentum CPT® Code range 49491- 49659. The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code range for Repair Procedures on the Abdomen, Peritoneum, and Omentum 49491-49659 is a medical code set maintained by the American Medical Association.
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, flexible, transoral; diagnostic, including collection of specimen(s) by brushing or washing, when performed (separate procedure)
CPT 43281 is separately payable when performed with a bariatric procedure, CPT 43280 is not. The difference between the two codes is that in 43281 the hernia sac is removed and then the area is repaired; in 43280 the hernia is only repaired via sutures.
43281 & 43280 are not billable together nor do they allow a modifier to break them apart. 43775 & 43280 are not billable together nor do they allow a modifier to break them apart.

Hernia codes (K40–K46) include acquired hernias, congenital hernias (except diaphragmatic or hiatus), and recurrent hernia.#N#Inguinal hernia K40-K40.91: This subcategory includes codes for direct inguinal, double inguinal, indirect, oblique inguinal, and scrotal hernias. To assign a code, you must know the location and laterality of the hernia, whether it’s with or without obstruction, whether it’s recurrent, and if there is gangrene present.#N#Femoral hernia K41.0-K41.91: This subcategory includes codes for paraumbilical hernias. To assign a code, you must know if the hernia is bilateral or unilateral, with or without obstruction, whether it’s recurrent, and if there is gangrene present.#N#Umbilical hernia K42-K42.9: To assign a code from this subcategory, you must know the hernia has an obstruction and/or gangrene present. An excludes 1 note with this category indicates that if an omphalocele (Q79.2 Exomphalos) is present, do not report these two codes together.#N#Ventral hernia K43.0-K43.9: To assign a code from this subcategory, know if the hernia is classified as an incisional hernia or a parastomal hernia, and if there is an obstruction and/or gangrene present.#N#Diaphragmatic hernia K44.0-K44.9: To assign a code from this subcategory, know if there is an obstruction and/or gangrene present. This code category includes hiatal hernia and esophageal or sliding hernia. There is an excludes 1 note that indicates not to report a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (Q79.0 Congenital diaphragmatic hernia) or a congenital hiatus hernia (Q40.1 Congenital hiatus hernia) at the same time as a code from this subcategory.#N#Other abdominal hernia K45-K45.8: This subcategory includes abdominal hernia, specified site, not elsewhere classified; lumbar hernia; obturator hernia; pudendal hernia; retroperitoneal hernia; and sciatic hernias. To assign a code, you must know if there is an obstruction and/or gangrene present.#N#Unspecified abdominal hernia K46-K46.9: Use a unspecified code only if documentation is imprecise and there is no way to query the reporting provider for more detail.
Hernia is a general term to describe a bulge or protrusion of an organ through the structure or muscle that usually contains it. Hernias can occur throughout the body (for instance, a herniated intervertebral disk), ...
Common hernia types include:#N#Inguinal: In this common form of hernia (75 percent of all hernias are of the inguinal variety), the intestine bulges through a weak area in the inguinal canal in the groin area. Inguinal her nias may be either direct (congenital) or indirect (acquired).#N#Femoral: These hernias occur in the area between the abdomen and the thigh, usually appearing as a bulge on the upper thigh.#N#Umbilical: The fascia of the navel is thinner than in the rest of the abdomen. An umbilical hernia occurs when contents protrude from the navel.#N#Ventral/Incisional: A defect in the abdominal wall at the site of a previous operative incision.#N#Diaphragmatic: A defect in the diaphragm (congenital or acquired) allows contents from the abdominal cavity to spill into the chest cavity.#N#Each of the above categories may include specific subcategories (e.g., femoral hernias include paraumbilical hernias). Additional hernia types include lumbar hernia, obturator hernia, pudendal hernia, and others.#N#2. Laterality#N#The concept of laterality only applies to inguinal and femoral hernias. For these hernia types, provider documentation must specify whether the hernia is bilateral or unilateral.#N#3. Complicated By#N#Complications of hernia include possible obstruction (documentation stating incarcerated, irreducible, or strangulated implies this) and the presence of gangrene.#N#If the provider can manually push the contents of the hernia sac (e.g., the intestine, in the case of an inguinal hernia) back through the fascial defect, the hernia is reducible. In some cases, the contents of the hernia sac become trapped in the opening caused by the fascial defect. Such incarcerated or strangulated hernias cannot be reduced and pose potential life-threatening danger.#N#A note at the beginning of the Hernia section in ICD-10-CM instructs that if a hernia has both obstruction and gangrene to classify it as having gangrene.#N#4. Temporal Parameters#N#Temporal parameters include status of recurrent and not specified as recurrent (e.g., Is this the first hernia at this location?).
The femoral hernia was repaired by suturing the iliopubic tract to Cooper’s ligament. K41.90 Unilateral femoral hernia, without obstruction or gangrene, not specified as recurrent. The femoral canal is the path through which the femoral artery, vein, and nerve leave the abdominal cavity to enter the thigh.
If small, this type of hernia may close by age 2. Even if the area is closed at birth, umbilical hernias can appear later in life because this spot may remain a weaker place in the abdominal wall.
Common symptoms of hernia vary, depending on the type. For asymptomatic hernia, the patient may have swelling or fullness at the hernia site. Although there’s little pain or tenderness, the patient may have an aching sensation that radiates into the area of the hernia.
Femoral: These hernias occur in the area between the abdomen and the thigh, usually appearing as a bul ge on the upper thigh. Umbilical: The fascia of the navel is thinner than in the rest of the abdomen.
An incision is made near the site of hiatal opening and then excessive mass is tied to remove surgically. Then sutures are required to make the opening tight. CPT code used for this procedure is 43332 to 43337.
Also the opening is made further narrow for no more hernia in future. The CPT code for this procedure is 43325, 43328, 43327.
In laparoscopic Para esophageal hiatal hernia repair, most of the stomach mass is bulged out to chest cavity. This requires a major surgery with a laparoscope. Laparoscope helps to obtain the inside imaging for better treatment. The CPT code used for this process is 43283.
Robotic hiatal hernia repair is the other name of laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair. A laparoscope is used in this process to obtain the inside imaging. The tissues are replaced with this technique and sutures are required for the tightening of hiatal opening. CPT code for this process is 43281 and 43282.
Laparoscopic hiatal hernia is the process of restoring stomach soft tissues. This is performed with the help of a laparoscope. Laparoscope is a long tube with a camera on it. It is inserted inside the body to treat hernia. The CPT code for this process is 43282 and 43281.
Hiatal hernia is a condition in which a part of soft tissues bulge out of the stomach. The hiatal hernia is exactly present at a point here chest is differentiated from abdomen. Hiatus is a small opening which allows passing esophagus to join stomach. In hiatal hernia, the small portion of stomach bulges out of this hiatal opening and enters in to the chest cavity. Hiatal hernia repair is the process of restoration of bulged out stomach tissues to their place. The repairing process involves surgical restoration of tissues and tightening of hiatal opening for lasting results.
Sliding hiatal hernia repair means restoring the loose bulged out stomach tissues back and narrowing of hiatal opening. Sometimes narrowing of upper sphincter is also required to stop recurrent hiatal hernia. Sliding hernia is same as open hernia repair. The CPT code used for this process is 43327.
