About K92

K92 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other diseases of digestive system. It belongs to block K90-K95 (other diseases of the digestive system) and chapter 11 (diseases of the digestive system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 5 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: K92.0 (hematemesis), K92.1 (melena), K92.2 (unspecified), K92.8 (system) and K92.9 (unspecified).

Don't report K92 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: neonatal gastrointestinal hemorrhage (P54.0-P54.3).

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