About coding gastric pouch
The ICD-10-CM code for gastric pouch is K31.4 (Gastric diverticulum).
Within K31 (other diseases of stomach and duodenum), K31.4 is specifically for gastric diverticulum. Related codes cover acute dilatation of stomach (K31.0), adult hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (K31.1), Hourglass stricture and stenosis of stomach (K31.2), Pylorospasm, not elsewhere classified (K31.3), obstruction of duodenum (K31.5), fistula of stomach and duodenum (K31.6), polyp of stomach and duodenum (K31.7), other specified diseases of stomach and duodenum (K31.8) and 3 more.
Don't report K31.4 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: congenital diverticulum of stomach (Q40.2).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for K31.4)
- congenital diverticulum of stomach (Q40.2)
