About K86

K86 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other diseases of pancreas. It belongs to 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 6 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: K86.0 (pancreatitis), K86.1 (pancreatitis), K86.2 (pancreas), K86.3 (pancreas), K86.8 (pancreas) and K86.9 (unspecified).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of K86, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: fibrocystic disease of pancreas (E84.-), islet cell tumor (of pancreas) (D13.7) and pancreatic steatorrhea (K90.3).

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