However, with all the changing guidelines, coding and billing for these disorders can be a complex task. Gastroenterologists need to document the correct diagnosis of symptoms, treatment, and coding of different types of gastrointestinal disorders. Gastrointestinal disorders are causing an unprecedented number of clinic visits and hospitalizations. Many of these conditions can be effectively prevented or minimized by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, practicing good bowel habits, and consuming over-the-counter medications.

Problems occur when nerves or muscles in any portion of the GI tract do not function in a coordinated manner or when the sensitivity of the nerves of the intestines becomes impaired. Gastrointestinal disorders refer to any condition or disease that occurs within the gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal problems are common even though most people don’t like to talk about them.
If you are experiencing severe abdominal pain, nausea or bloating, it could be a serious sign of a gastrointestinal condition that may require immediate medical attention.
