Has anyone coded this diagnosis in ICD 10 yet? Which code did you use? K58.9 or K63.89? I cannot find any documentation in the AHA resources. Thanks!

According to the ICD 10 CM Coding Guideline for syndromes, "Follow the Alphabetic Index guidance when coding syndromes. In the absence of Alphabetic Index guidance, assign codes for the documented manifestations of the syndrome. Additional codes for manifestations that are not an integral part of the disease process may also be assigned when the condition does not have a unique code." Then use T codes, (ie. T40.605A, Adverse effect of unspecified narcotics, initial encounter) to capture narcotic drug as the cause of bowel syndrome.
