anyone know what icd-9 code would be used for "colonic inertia"? Please help.
Thanks.:)
 
sorry that's not good

No, that code says "megacolon", which is not what this is..thanks anyway
anyone else have an idea?
 
colonic inertia weak muscular activity of the colon, leading to distention of the organ and constipation.

My suggestion is 564.89 or 564.9
