ICD-10 Code for Hemorrhoids
Also indexed as (bleeding) (without mention of degree)
The ICD-10-CM code for hemorrhoids is K64.9 — Unspecified hemorrhoids. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for hemorrhoids with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
K64.9 is billable but unspecified. If the documentation names a type, site or cause, one of the more specific codes below is likely expected.
