ICD-10 Code K94.11 – Enterostomy hemorrhage (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K94.11 – Enterostomy hemorrhage
What it is
K94.11 identifies bleeding from an enterostomy, such as a surgically created intestinal stoma. Use it when the record clearly documents hemorrhage at the stoma site or from the enterostomy itself.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include visible blood in the stoma appliance, bleeding at the stoma, or persistent oozing noted on examination. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use K94.11 when the provider documents enterostomy hemorrhage as the reason for evaluation, care, or complication management. It may apply to postoperative or chronic stoma bleeding when the source is the enterostomy. Check documentation if the note only mentions gastrointestinal bleeding without a stoma-specific source.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for bleeding unrelated to the enterostomy, such as generalized GI hemorrhage or a different postoperative complication. If the chart does not clearly identify the stoma as the bleeding source, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code K94.11 only when the provider links the hemorrhage directly to the enterostomy; otherwise, query for clarification.
