K75.2

Billable

Nonspecific reactive hepatitis

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

What This Code Means

Liver inflammation that occurs as a reaction to another condition or trigger, without a specific identifiable cause. It typically develops suddenly and may resolve once the triggering factor is removed.

Coding Tips

  • Document the suspected trigger or underlying condition when possible to support medical necessity
  • This is a diagnosis of exclusion; ensure other specific hepatitis types have been ruled out

Excludes 1 — Do NOT code together

  • acute or subacute hepatitis (K72.0-)
  • chronic hepatitis NEC (K73.-)
  • viral hepatitis (B15-B19)
