Additional Info
- This code is actually a symptom, representing GI blood exiting through the lower GI tract.
- Whenever possible code combine this code with the CAUSE of this symptom -- i.e. the ICD10 code that represents the true SITE of the bleeding.
- This code should only be used alone if the cause of the melena or hematochezia remains unknown.
- If all you know is that there is bleeding from a GI source, without a known source or even whether it was exiting the upper or lower GI tracts, then instead use code Gastrointestinal hemorrhage (GI bleed), not specified if lower or upper.
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
Candidate Combined ICD10 codes
- As above, combine this code with the code for the source/cause of the bleeding.
