ICD10 code of Short Bowel Syndrome and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Short Bowel Syndrome? And the ICD9 code for Short Bowel Syndrome?
Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) is a condition characterized by the inability of the small intestine to adequately absorb nutrients and fluids due to its shortened length. This can occur as a result of surgical removal, congenital defects, or certain medical conditions. The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code to classify this condition. The ICD-10 code for Short Bowel Syndrome is K91.2.
It is important to note that prior to the implementation of ICD-10, the Ninth Revision (ICD-9) was used. The corresponding ICD-9 code for Short Bowel Syndrome is 579.3. The transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 allowed for more detailed and specific coding, facilitating better classification and understanding of various medical conditions.
Medical coding using ICD-10 is crucial for accurate documentation, billing, and statistical analysis. It enables healthcare providers, researchers, and insurance companies to identify and track specific diseases and conditions, ensuring appropriate treatment, reimbursement, and epidemiological analysis.
In summary, Short Bowel Syndrome is assigned the ICD-10 code K91.2 and the corresponding ICD-9 code is 579.3. These codes play a vital role in classifying and documenting this condition, allowing for effective communication and analysis within the healthcare industry.

Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s disease causes inflammation in the GI tract lining. It may spread into the deep layers of the affected tissue and can be painful and debilitating. Crohn’s disease mainly affects short segments of the small and large intestine.
Crohn’s disease is classified to ICD-9-CM category 555, Regional enteritis. The specific code assignment depends on the site affected by the disease, as follows:
• 555.0, Crohn’s disease of small intestine, including duodenum, ileum, and jejunum (regional ileitis);
• 555.1, Crohn’s disease of large intestine (regional colitis);
• 555.2, Crohn’s disease of small intestine with large intestine (regional ileocolitis); and
• 555.9, Crohn’s disease of unspecified site (regional enteritis, not otherwise specified).
