ICD-10 Code K64.2 – Third degree hemorrhoids (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K64.2 – Third degree hemorrhoids
What it is
K64.2 identifies third degree hemorrhoids, which are internal hemorrhoids that prolapse during bowel movements and require manual reduction. Use this code when documentation specifies third degree disease.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include prolapsing internal hemorrhoids, rectal bleeding, and discomfort or irritation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use K64.2 when the provider documents third degree internal hemorrhoids, including cases described as prolapsed but manually reducible. You may also use it when the note clearly matches third degree grading and no other hemorrhoid type is specified.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for external hemorrhoids, thrombosed hemorrhoids, or lower-degree internal hemorrhoids. If the degree is not documented, check documentation before assigning K64.2.
Coding tip
Match the documented hemorrhoid grade exactly, because the degree determines the correct ICD-10 code.
