ICD-10 Code K86.89 – Other specified diseases of pancreas (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K86.89 – Other specified diseases of pancreas
What it is
K86.89 is used for pancreatic conditions that are documented but do not fit a more specific ICD-10-CM category. It captures other named diseases of the pancreas when the record supports a distinct diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Patients may have abdominal pain, digestive symptoms, or imaging findings involving the pancreas, but the exact presentation depends on the underlying disorder.
When to use this code
Use K86.89 when the provider documents a specific pancreatic disease that is not otherwise classified in ICD-10-CM. It is appropriate when the chart clearly identifies a pancreatic condition, but no more precise code exists. Check documentation if the diagnosis is vague or incomplete.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for acute or chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cysts, or malignant pancreatic neoplasms when a more specific code is available. If the condition is unspecified, check documentation before assigning K86.89.
Coding tip
Code K86.89 only after confirming the provider’s exact pancreatic diagnosis and ruling out a more specific ICD-10-CM option.
