About K95.8

K95.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for complications of other bariatric procedure. It belongs to category K95 (complications of bariatric procedures), 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within K95, choose K95.8 (other bariatric procedure) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: gastric band procedure (K95.0).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: K95.81 (procedure) and K95.89 (procedure).

Don't report K95.8 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: complications of gastric band surgery (K95.0-).

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