B16.1

Billable

Acute hepatitis B with delta-agent without hepatic coma

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Acute hepatitis B infection with simultaneous delta virus infection, but without the patient losing consciousness from liver failure.

Coding Tips

  • •Delta-agent (hepatitis D) can only occur with hepatitis B; confirm both viruses are present
  • •The absence of hepatic coma should be clearly documented to distinguish from B16.0
