What Erosive Gastritis ICD-10 codes can I use?
If you’re looking for Erosive Gastritis ICD codes, you might have trouble looking for one because there are no ICD-10 codes that mention Erosive Gastritis in their names. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any for it, though!
Two codes can be used for Erosive Gastritis: K29.60 - Other gastritis without bleeding or K29.61 - Other gastritis with bleeding. You just need to pick one based on whether the Erosive Gastritis is accompanied by bleeding.
There are specific ICD-10 codes meant for specific kinds of gastritis. Erosive Gastritis doesn’t have any, so it falls under other gastritis.
You can use the unspecified gastritis codes K29.70 and K29.71 because those are meant to be used only if the specific type of Gastritis hasn’t been identified.
Are both Erosive Gastritis ICD-10 codes billable?
Yes. Both ICD-10 codes for Erosive Gastritis are valid and billable.
Clinical information about Erosive Gastritis:
Gastritis is the term used to refer to stomach lining inflammations and irritation. The stomach lining’s function is to produce digestive juices and mucus to help us digest our food.
If our stomach lining is irritated or inflamed, we will likely experience the feeling of being bloated, lose our appetite, and feel pain/discomfort in our abdomens. It can also result in us feeling nauseated and cause bleeding in our stomach lining. If there is bleeding, we might poop black stools and even vomit blood that resembles coffee grounds (coffee ground emesis).
Erosive Gastritis is a type of gastritis that gradually eats away at our stomach lining. This is caused by acid, alcohol, bile, or certain recreational drugs. Its most common cause is using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (or NSAIDs for short).
By eating away at our stomach linings, Erosive Gastritis will give rise to ulcers.
