About K62

K62 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other diseases of anus and rectum. It belongs to block K55-K64 (other diseases of intestines) and chapter 11 (diseases of the digestive system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 10 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: K62.0 (polyp), K62.1 (polyp), K62.2 (prolapse), K62.3 (prolapse), K62.4 (rectum), K62.5 (rectum), K62.6 (rectum), K62.7 (proctitis) and 2 more.

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of K62, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: colostomy and enterostomy malfunction (K94.0-, K94.1-), fecal incontinence (R15.-) and hemorrhoids (K64.-).

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