When documentation confirms GERD, you’ve got two codes to choose from in ICD-10-CM 2018: K21.0 ( Gastro -esophageal reflux disease with esophagitis) K21.9 (Gastro-esophageal reflux disease without esophagitis).

ICD-10-CM Code for Gastro-esophageal reflux disease with esophagitis K21. 0.
ICD-9 code 530.81 for Esophageal reflux is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range -DISEASES OF ESOPHAGUS, STOMACH, AND DUODENUM (530-539).
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach (esophagus). This backwash (acid reflux) can irritate the lining of your esophagus. Many people experience acid reflux from time to time.
Based on endoscopic and histopathologic appearance, GERD is classified into three different phenotypes: non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), erosive esophagitis (EE), and Barrett esophagus (BE)[5].
ICD-10-CM Code for Gastro-esophageal reflux disease without esophagitis K21. 9.
K21. 9 - Gastro-esophageal reflux disease without esophagitis. ICD-10-CM.
GERD is broken down into different stages based on how serious your symptoms are and how often they occur:Stage 1: Mild GERD. Minimal acid reflux occurs once or twice a month. ... Stage 2: Moderate GERD. ... Stage 3: Severe GERD. ... Stage 4: Precancer or cancer.
What are the symptoms of GERD (chronic acid reflux)?Heartburn.Regurgitation (food comes back into your mouth from the esophagus).The feeling of food caught in your throat.Coughing.Chest pain.Problem swallowing.Vomiting.Sore throat and hoarseness.
GERD: The more serious cause GERD stands for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Like its name suggests, GERD is a more serious version of acid reflux. They can both cause heartburn. Often people who experience heartburn more than twice a week have GERD.
GERD can usually be diagnosed based on the clinical presentation alone. In some patients, however, the diagnosis may require endoscopy and, rarely, ambulatory pH monitoring.
Stage 4: Esophageal Cancer or Precancerous Lesions Stage 4 GERD represents the most serious consequence of long-term reflux, and approximately 10% of people who have GERD will progress to this stage if their reflux remains uncontrolled over time.
Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) happens when your stomach contents come back up into your esophagus. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a more severe and long-lasting condition in which GER causes repeated symptoms or leads to complications over time.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease with paraesophageal hernia. Hiatal hernia with gastroesophageal reflux disease (disorder) (gas-tro-eh-sof-a-jee-al ree-flux diz-eez) also called gerd. A common disorder marked by frequent or severe heartburn. The burning feeling occurs when stomach acid flows up into the esophagus.
ICD-9-CM 530.81 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim , however, 530.81 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).
Symptoms include heartburn and acid indigestion. Retrograde flow of gastric juice (gastric acid) and/or duodenal contents (bile acids; pancreatic juice) into the distal esophagus, commonly due to incompetence of the lower esophageal sphincter.
The backward flow of stomach acid contents into the esophagus (the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach) Your esophagus is the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) happens when a muscle at the end of your esophagus does not close properly.
A chronic disorder characterized by reflux of the gastric and/or duodenal contents into the distal esophagus. It is usually caused by incompetence of the lower esophageal sphincter. Symptoms include heartburn and acid indigestion. It may cause injury to the esophageal mucosa.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K21.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The backward flow of stomach acid contents into the esophagus (the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach). Your esophagus is the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) happens when a muscle at the end of your esophagus does not close properly.
Reflux-induced precancerous lesions or esophageal cancer is the last stage of GERD which results from years of untreated severe reflux. This is often attributed to a precancerous condition called Barrett’s esophagus and can lead to cancer if left untreated.
Stage 1 describes the mild GERD cases where mild symptoms are observed once or twice a month. Stage 1 GERD can be treated with changes in lifestyle and suppressive medication.
Frequent acid reflux is the major cause of GERD. The stomach acid flows back into the esophagus when the sphincter (a band of muscle at the bottom of the esophagus that allows liquid and food to flow into your stomach), acts abnormally and gets weak. The constant backwash of acid irritates the lining of your esophagus, often causing it to become inflamed.
GERD is short for Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease which occurs when stomach acids flow back from the stomach into the esophagus, the tube that connects your mouth to the stomach. This acid reflux has a knack for irritating the lining of the esophagus.
ICD serves as a foundation to identify clinical trends and statistics globally. Diseases, injuries, disorders, and all health conditions are listed comprehensively and organized into standard groupings allowing health care providers from around the world to compare and share information using the ICD codes.
ICD-10 (short for International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition) is a clinical documentation and cataloging system owned by the World Health organization which consists of thousands of codes, where each code represents critical information about the different diseases, findings, causes of injuries, symptoms, possible treatments, and epidemiology, playing a vital role in enabling advancements in clinical treatment and medication.
The condition ranges from mild acid reflux to moderate and severe acid reflux (more on this later). GERD is not a life-threatening condition and is often managed with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications.
Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a digestive system disorder in which the stomach acid flows back to esophagus. This can damage the tissue lining of esophagus and makes it difficult to pass food. It is a common digestive system disorder affecting millions of people throughout the world.
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.
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.
Here we need to combine both diagnosis and code K21.00. Heartburn and dyspepsia will not be coded as both are symptoms of GERD.
A chronic disorder characterized by reflux of the gastric and/or duodenal contents into the distal esophagus. It is usually caused by incompetence of the lower esophageal sphincter. Symptoms include heartburn and acid indigestion. It may cause injury to the esophageal mucosa.
Your esophagus is the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) happens when a muscle at the end of your esophagus does not close properly. This allows stomach contents to leak back, or reflux, into the esophagus and irritate it. You may feel a burning in the chest or throat called heartburn. Sometimes, you can taste stomach fluid in the back of the mouth. This is acid indigestion. If you have these symptoms more than twice a week, you may have gerd. Anyone, including infants and children, can have gerd. If not treated, it can lead to more serious health problems. In some cases, you might need medicines or surgery. However, many people can improve their symptoms by#N#avoiding alcohol and spicy, fatty or acidic foods that trigger heartburn#N#eating smaller meals#N#not eating close to bedtime#N#losing weight if needed#N#wearing loose-fitting clothes 1 avoiding alcohol and spicy, fatty or acidic foods that trigger heartburn 2 eating smaller meals 3 not eating close to bedtime 4 losing weight if needed 5 wearing loose-fitting clothes
