K92.2 — Gastrointestinal hemorrhage, unspecified
K92.2 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for gastrointestinal hemorrhage, unspecified. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Gastric hemorrhage NOS
- Intestinal hemorrhage NOS
Other codes that can never be billed with K92.2
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at K92.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading K92.2 alone.
- K62.5Hemorrhage of anus and rectum
Risk adjustment
K92.2 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Medicare coverage
K92.2 is named in 22 Medicare coverage policies — 22 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
