Additional Info
- If possible, combine this code with the CAUSE of this symptom.
- If you know whether the blood is exiting from the upper GI tract, then the correct code instead of this one is: Hematemesis
- If you know whether the blood is exiting from the lower GI tract, then the correct code instead of this one is: Melena or Hematochezia
There is confusion surrounding how to code a known lower GI BLeed, some have been using this code, others have used Hemorrhage, NOS combined with Melena or Hematochezia or Diverticulosis, small or large intestine or Intestinal polyp etc. Lisa Kaita 12:54, 2022 May 16 (CDT) |
