Good Morning,

We have a patient who is having a significant amount of dental work done due to a severe case of acid reflux that has deteriorated his teeth. Is there an ICD diagnosis for acid reflux?

Thanks!

Hi Guest!

Here are some coding options for you below:

K21.0 - Gastro-esophageal reflux disease with esophagitis
K21.9 - Gastro-esophageal reflux disease without esophagitis
Z87.19 - Personal history of other diseases of the digestive system

Hope this helps!
