Chronic gastrojejunal ulcer w/o hemorrhage or perforation

This code signifies a long-standing ulcer located at the surgical connection between the stomach and the jejunum, which is not actively bleeding and has not created a hole through the organ wall. It represents a persistent defect in the mucosal lining of the gastrojejunal anastomosis.

Use this code for patients diagnosed with a chronic gastrojejunal ulcer where the clinical documentation explicitly states the absence of hemorrhage or perforation. This typically applies to follow-up visits or when the ulcer is identified incidentally without acute complications. Documentation should clearly indicate "chronic" and rule out active bleeding or perforation.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "chronic" and "without hemorrhage or perforation" to support this specific code.
• Do not use this code if any active bleeding or perforation is present; instead, select a more specific code from the K28 series.
• Distinguish from acute gastrojejunal ulcers, which are coded differently within the K28 category.
