Billable

Gastric ulcer, unspecified as acute or chronic, without hemorrhage or perforation

What This Code Means

A stomach ulcer where it is unclear whether it is acute or chronic, and there is no active bleeding or perforation.

Coding Tips

  • •This is an unspecified code; use only when the acute vs. chronic status cannot be determined from documentation
  • •Query the provider if possible to determine chronicity, as K25.7 (chronic) or K25.3 (acute) would be more specific
