  • R11.10 Vomiting, unspecified
  • R11.11 Vomiting without nausea
  • R11.12 Projectile vomiting
  • R11.13 Vomiting of fecal matter
  • R11.14 Bilious vomiting
  • R11.15 Cyclical vomiting syndrome unrelated to migraine

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2007 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.

  1. FY2007 Added to the draft code set draft Nausea alone
  2. FY2010 Removed from the draft draft
  3. FY2012 Returned to the draft draft
