What ICD-10 codes will you use for erosive gastritis?

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, from types of chronic gastritis like chronic superficial gastritis and chronic atrophic gastritis to acute gastritis and even eosinophilic gastritis. Erosive gastritis doesn't have any, so it falls under other types of gastritis.

You can use the unspecified gastritis codes K29.70 and K29.71, which are meant to be used only if the specific type of Gastritis hasn't been identified.

Which erosive gastritis ICD codes are billable?

Both ICD-10 codes for erosive gastritis are valid and billable.

Clinical information

Gastritis is the term for inflammation of the stomach lining and irritation. The stomach lining produces digestive juices and mucus to help digest food.

If the stomach lining is irritated or inflamed, one will likely experience the feeling of being bloated, lose appetite, and feel pain/discomfort in the abdomen. It can also result in nausea and cause bleeding in the stomach lining. If there is bleeding, there is a tendency to 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 the 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).

Erosive gastritis erodes the stomach lining, giving rise to a stomach ulcer, specifically gastric ulcer/s or erosions, and possibly progressing to a peptic ulcer, such as an acute gastric ulcer.
