Diverticular disease grows more common with age. About 10% of people over age 40 will get diverticulosis, and 50% will get it after age 60. It affects nearly everyone over 80. There are two main types of diverticular disease -- diverticulitis and diverticular bleeding.
Diverticulosis occurs when small, bulging pouches (diverticula) develop in your digestive tract. When one or more of these pouches become inflamed or infected, the condition is called diverticulitis.
Uncomplicated diverticulitis is defined as localized diverticular inflammation without complication, whereas complicated diverticulitis consists of inflammation associated with a complication such as abscess, fistula, obstruction, bleeding, or perforation.
Therefore, when you are billing diverticulitis you do not need to add the dx of diverticulosis, as we know they have it or they would not have diverticulitis.
In ICD-10-CM, diverticular disease of intestine, or diverticulitis is coded to K57. The codes include location (small, large or small and large intestine), with or without perforation or abscess, and with or without bleeding: K57. 00 Diverticulitis of small intestine with perforation and abscess without bleeding.
30: Diverticulosis of large intestine without perforation or abscess without bleeding.
K57. 92 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of diverticulitis of intestine, part unspecified, without perforation or abscess without bleeding.
Left colonic diverticulosis was defined as a diverticulum, or diverticula, detected on DCBE in the left-sided colon regardless of the involvement of the remaining colon. The presence of diverticula in all three colonic segments was defined as pancolonic diverticulosis.
829 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of elevated white blood cell count, unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
R10. 9 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of unspecified abdominal pain. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
If you don't treat it, diverticulitis can lead to serious complications that require surgery: Abscesses, collections of pus from the infection, may form around the infected diverticula. If these go through the intestinal wall, you could get peritonitis. This infection can be fatal.
Diverticulosis may lead to several complications including inflammation, infection, bleeding or intestinal blockage. Fortunately, diverticulosis does not lead to cancer. Diverticulitis occurs when the pouches become infected or inflamed.
A mild case of diverticulitis may go away on its own without any treatment. When treatment is necessary, antibiotics and a liquid or low-fiber diet may be all that is necessary to resolve symptoms. Only about 5 percent of people who have diverticulosis ever go on to develop diverticulitis.
