Other and unspecified noninfective gastroenteritis and colitis

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 6 more specific codes instead:

K52.0 Gastroenteritis and colitis due to radiation
K52.1 Toxic gastroenteritis and colitis
K52.2 Allergic and dietetic gastroenteritis and colitis (also a header)
K52.3 Indeterminate colitis
K52.8 Other specified noninfective gastroenteritis and colitis (also a header)
K52.9 Noninfective gastroenteritis and colitis, unspecified

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Other and unspecified noninfective gastroenteritis and colitis
