K95.09 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other complications of gastric band procedure. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 393 through 395. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 70 closely related codes. Coders also document this condition as finding of gastrointestinal device. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Postprocedural or postoperative digestive system complication.
