Schatzki’s ring

Schatzki’s ring, acquired, 530.3
Schatzki’s ring, congenital, 750.3
When physician documentation states only “Schatzki’s ring” with no further detail as to whether it is “acquired” or “congenital” the default code is 750.3. An acquired “Schatzki’s ring” is coded 530.3 and is more prevalent.
Note: • Schatzki’s Ring is rarely congenital and when it is it is caused by an obstruction; • Acquired Schatzki’s Ring can be caused by things like acid reflux and GERD symptoms
