Superficial endometriosis of the small intestine

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

What This Code Means

Endometrial tissue grows in the outer layers of the small intestine, causing abdominal pain and potential malabsorption issues.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm the location is the small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, or ileum) rather than the colon
  • •Document the depth as superficial to differentiate from deep endometriosis (N80.562)
