Superficial endometriosis of other parts of the colon

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

What This Code Means

Endometrial tissue (the lining of the uterus) grows in the outer layers of the colon, causing pain and digestive issues.

Coding Tips

  • •Specify the depth as 'superficial' when documentation indicates the endometriosis affects only the outer layers of the colon
  • •Distinguish from N80.552 (deep endometriosis) and N80.559 (unspecified depth) based on clinical findings or imaging results
