The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Other diseases of pancreas

Non-specific codes like K86 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for other diseases of pancreas:

  • Use K86.0 for Alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use K86.1 for Other chronic pancreatitis - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use K86.2 for Cyst of pancreas - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use K86.3 for Pseudocyst of pancreas - BILLABLE CODE

  • K86.8 for Other specified diseases of pancreas - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use K86.81 for Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use K86.89 for Other specified diseases of pancreas - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use K86.9 for Disease of pancreas, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


Type 2 Excludes

Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
  • fibrocystic disease of pancreas E84
  • islet cell tumor of pancreas D13.7
  • pancreatic steatorrhea K90.3

Patient Education


Pancreatic Diseases

The pancreas is a gland behind your stomach and in front of your spine. It produces juices that help break down food and hormones that help control blood sugar levels. Problems with the pancreas can lead to many health problems. These include:

  • Pancreatitis, or inflammation of the pancreas: This happens when digestive enzymes start digesting the pancreas itself
  • Pancreatic cancer
  • Cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder in which thick, sticky mucus can also block tubes in your pancreas

The pancreas also plays a role in diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, the beta cells of the pancreas no longer make insulin because the body's immune system has attacked them. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas loses the ability to secrete enough insulin in response to meals.
