K86.0
Billable codeAlcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis
The ICD-10 code for alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis is K86.0.
Clinical notes
Code also
Two codes may be needed to fully describe a condition, but unlike Code First/Use Additional Code, the sequencing order is not mandated by convention.
- exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (K86.81)
Excludes2 (not included here)
An Excludes2 note means the excluded condition is not part of this one, but a patient can have both at the same time — in that case both codes may be reported together.
- alcohol induced acute pancreatitis (K85.2-)
Use additional code
This code represents an underlying condition. When a related manifestation is also present, coding convention calls for an additional code to be listed after this one.
- code to identify:
- alcohol abuse and dependence (F10.-)
Documentation support
General coding-documentation guidance — not a substitute for payer-specific requirements or professional coding judgment.
- •If the associated manifestation or related condition noted above is also documented, an additional code should be reported alongside this one.
- •As a general rule, code to the highest level of specificity supported by the documentation in the medical record.
