Good Morning, I am looking for recommendations for an ICD-10 code for blood on toilet paper, patient stated he had a small amount on the toilet paper after a BM. The rectal exam was negative for blood. The provider gave Hemorrhage (R58), I am recommending Other fecal abnormalities (R19.5) or Hematochezia (K92.1). Any information to clarify will be helpful. Thank you,
