ICD-10 Code K62.0 – Anal polyp (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K62.0 – Anal polyp
What it is
K62.0 identifies a polyp located in the anal canal. Use it when documentation specifically states an anal polyp, rather than a rectal or colonic lesion.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Anal polyps may be found on examination or reported with local rectal discomfort, bleeding, or a visible mass, but the record should confirm the diagnosis.
When to use this code
Use K62.0 when the provider documents an anal polyp as the diagnosed condition. It is appropriate for office, outpatient, or procedural notes when the lesion is identified in the anal canal.
If the note only describes a rectal polyp, hemorrhoid, or nonspecific anorectal bleeding, check documentation before assigning this code. Code the documented site and condition as stated.
Do not use for
Do not use K62.0 for rectal or colonic polyps, hemorrhoids, or anal skin tags. If the chart is unclear about the lesion’s location, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify that the term “anal” is documented; an unspecified anorectal mass is not enough for K62.0.
