How to code Esophageal Foreign Body and Food Impaction
Foreign body in esophagus is T18.1-. The sixth character shows whether the object compresses the trachea (0) or causes other injury (8), and the seventh character is the encounter: A initial, D subsequent, S sequela. Food bolus impaction is T18.128A, and a swallowed coin or other object is T18.198A.
Add the underlying condition when it is documented, such as eosinophilic esophagitis K20.0 or an esophageal stricture K22.2. An object that has passed into the stomach is T18.2XXA.
