ICD-10 Code K62.2 – Anal prolapse (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K62.2 – Anal prolapse
What it is
Anal prolapse means the anal mucosa or tissue protrudes outward through the anal opening. It is a structural problem, not a symptom code, and should be documented as such.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include visible tissue protruding from the anus, discomfort, irritation, or difficulty with hygiene. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use K62.2 when the provider documents anal prolapse, anal mucosal prolapse, or similar wording. Apply it when the condition is confirmed on exam or clearly recorded in the assessment. If the note only mentions rectal prolapse, check documentation before assigning this code.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for hemorrhoids, rectal prolapse, or nonspecific rectal bleeding. If the record does not clearly identify anal prolapse, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code only when the documentation distinguishes anal prolapse from rectal prolapse or another anorectal disorder.
