Dvtrcli of both small and lg int w/o perf or abscs w/o bleed

This code signifies inflammation of diverticula present in both the small and large intestines. It specifically indicates that there is no evidence of complications such as perforation, abscess formation, or active bleeding associated with the diverticulitis.

Apply this code when documentation confirms diverticulitis affecting both segments of the bowel (small and large intestine) and explicitly states the absence of perforation, abscess, or hemorrhage. This is appropriate for cases of uncomplicated diverticulitis impacting both intestinal regions.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies involvement of both small and large intestines.
• Verify the absence of perforation, abscess, or bleeding; if any are present, a more specific code is required.
• Do not use this code if diverticulitis is confined to only the small or only the large intestine.
