What This Code Means

K60.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for acute anal fissure. A painful tear in the tissue lining the anal canal that develops suddenly, usually caused by trauma during bowel movements or childbirth. K60.0 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the digestive system (k00-k95), within the section covering other diseases of intestines (k55-k64).

K60.0 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but no current CMS-HCC V28 community payment mapping is shown, and none under the ESRD, Part D RxHCC, or HHS-HCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.

Confirm the acute nature of the fissure; chronic fissures should be coded as K60.1.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for K60.0 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

•Confirm the acute nature of the fissure; chronic fissures should be coded as K60.1
