K60

K60 — Fissure and fistula of anal and rectal regions

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

K60 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for fissure and fistula of anal and rectal regions. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

abscess or cellulitis of anal and rectal regions (K61.-)
anal sphincter tear (healed) (nontraumatic) (old) (K62.81)

Other codes that can never be billed with K60

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at K60. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading K60 alone.

K62.6Ulcer of anus and rectum

Risk adjustment

K60 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead K60

6 child codes. Green means billable.
