Billable

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

What This Code Means

Early-stage scarring of the liver tissue that has not yet progressed to advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis.

Coding Tips

  • •Distinguish from K74.02 (advanced fibrosis) by reviewing clinical documentation and imaging findings
  • •Often associated with chronic liver disease; verify the underlying cause (hepatitis, alcohol use, etc.) for complete coding
