ICD-10 Code K60.2 – Anal fissure, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K60.2 – Anal fissure, unspecified
What it is
K60.2 identifies an anal fissure when the record does not specify acute or chronic status. It refers to a tear or split in the lining of the anal canal.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include anal pain during or after bowel movements and bright red rectal bleeding on tissue or stool. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use K60.2 when the provider documents an anal fissure but does not state whether it is acute or chronic. It also fits unspecified fissure descriptions in problem lists, assessments, or discharge summaries. Check documentation if another anorectal condition is documented more precisely.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for hemorrhoids, perianal abscess, or fistula in ano. If the note specifies acute or chronic fissure, code the documented type instead.
Coding tip
Query for acuity when the note says only “anal fissure,” because that detail may change code selection.
