The ICD-10 code for Functional dyspepsia is K30.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K30 – Functional dyspepsia

What it is

K30 identifies functional dyspepsia, a chronic upper abdominal digestive disorder without a clear structural cause. It is used when symptoms fit dyspepsia and no other diagnosis explains them.

Clinical signs

Typical findings include epigastric pain or burning, early satiety, postprandial fullness, and bloating. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use K30 when the provider documents functional dyspepsia or dyspepsia with no identified organic disease after evaluation. It may apply to persistent upper abdominal discomfort, fullness, or pain when workup does not support another gastrointestinal diagnosis. Check documentation if another condition better explains the symptoms.

Do not use for

Do not use K30 when symptoms are due to peptic ulcer disease, GERD, gallbladder disease, or another documented disorder. Avoid it if the record supports a more specific diagnosis.

Coding tip

Code K30 only when the provider clearly links the symptoms to functional dyspepsia and no alternate cause is documented.
