Help!

Does anyone know the ICD9 code for rectal varicosities? I think this may really be rectal hemorroids, but that is how the surgeon stated it on the procedure note?

Thanks,
:o
 
Hemorhoids are varicose veins of the rectum. Use the 455.x ICD-9 codes (depending on the type-internal, external, thrombosed external etc)
