K27.7

Billable

Chronic peptic ulcer, site unspecified, without hemorrhage or perforation

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A long-term ulcer in the stomach or small intestine that is not actively bleeding or perforated, but the exact location is not specified.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code when documentation indicates chronic peptic ulcer disease without complications; query provider if specific site (gastric vs duodenal) can be determined for more precise coding
  • •Ensure no hemorrhage or perforation is documented; if either complication exists, select a different K27 code
