Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

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

Submit one of these 8 more specific codes instead:

  • K63.0 Abscess of intestine
  • K63.1 Perforation of intestine (nontraumatic)
  • K63.2 Fistula of intestine
  • K63.3 Ulcer of intestine
  • K63.4 Enteroptosis
  • K63.5 Polyp of colon
  • K63.8 Other specified diseases of intestine (also a header)
  • K63.9 Disease of intestine, unspecified

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.
