Cholangitis

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

Billable FY2016 to FY2018, and a category header from FY2019.

Submit one of these 2 more specific codes instead:

K83.01 Primary sclerosing cholangitis
K83.09 Other cholangitis

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2007 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

FY2007 Added to the draft code set draft Cholangitis
FY2019 Stopped being billable
