What This Code Means

K85.30 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for drug induced acute pancreatitis without necrosis or infection. Sudden inflammation of the pancreas caused by medication or drug use without tissue death or infection. K85.30 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the digestive system (k00-k95), within the section covering disorders of gallbladder, biliary tract and pancreas (k80-k87).

K85.30 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Document the specific drug or medication causing the pancreatitis when possible for clinical clarity.
