My provider removed a polyp at the rectosigmoid junction. ICD-10 does not specify a particular code for rectosigmoid junction. In ICD-9, we coded 211.4 Benign neoplasm rectum. In ICD-10 do I select the rectal polyp code K62.1 or the colon polyp code K63.5? Help please!

Thanks,
Darlena Smith

Thanks for the response, but ICD-10 has actual polyp codes that ICD-9 did not have. I am looking for guidance on the appropriate polyp code choice. This polyp is not an adenoma and according to ICD-10 guidance should be coded as a polyp.
