About K52

K52 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other and unspecified noninfective gastroenteritis and colitis. It belongs to block K50-K52 (noninfective enteritis and colitis) and chapter 11 (diseases of the digestive system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 6 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: K52.0 (radiation), K52.1 (colitis), K52.2 (colitis), K52.3 (colitis), K52.8 (colitis) and K52.9 (unspecified).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
