K85.3Drug induced acute pancreatitis

K85.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for drug induced acute pancreatitis. It belongs to category K85 (acute pancreatitis), block K80-K87 (disorders of gallbladder, biliary tract and pancreas) and chapter 11 (diseases of the digestive system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within K85 (acute pancreatitis), K85.3 is specifically for drug induced acute pancreatitis. Related codes cover idiopathic acute pancreatitis (K85.0), biliary acute pancreatitis (K85.1), alcohol induced acute pancreatitis (K85.2), other acute pancreatitis (K85.8) and unspecified (K85.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: K85.30 (without necrosis or infection), K85.31 (with uninfected necrosis) and K85.32 (with infected necrosis).

Use an additional code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5). Use an additional code to identify drug abuse and dependence (F11.-F17.-).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2017 (expanded into subcodes).
