About coding Pyrosis
The ICD-10-CM code for Pyrosis is R12 (Heartburn).
Don't report R12 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: functional dyspepsia (K30).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of R12, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: dyspepsia NOS (R10.13).
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 R12)
- functional dyspepsia (K30)
