Intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of digestive system, not elsewhere classified

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 8 more specific codes instead:

K91.0 Vomiting following gastrointestinal surgery
K91.1 Postgastric surgery syndromes
K91.2 Postsurgical malabsorption, not elsewhere classified
K91.3 Postprocedural intestinal obstruction (also a header)
K91.5 Postcholecystectomy syndrome
K91.6 Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of a digestive system organ or structure complicating a procedure (also a header)
K91.7 Accidental puncture and laceration of a digestive system organ or structure during a procedure (also a header)
K91.8 Other intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of digestive system (also a header)

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 Intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of digestive system, not elsewhere classified
