About K52.8
K52.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified noninfective gastroenteritis and colitis. It belongs to category K52 (other and unspecified noninfective gastroenteritis and colitis), 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.
Within K52, choose K52.8 (Other specified noninfective gastroenteritis and colitis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: gastroenteritis and colitis due to radiation (K52.0), toxic gastroenteritis and colitis (K52.1), allergic and dietetic gastroenteritis and colitis (K52.2), indeterminate colitis (K52.3) and noninfective gastroenteritis and colitis, unspecified (K52.9).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: K52.81 (gastroenteritis), K52.82 (colitis), K52.83 (colitis) and K52.89 (colitis).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
