Calculus of gallbladder with other cholecystitis without obstruction

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

What This Code Means

Gallstones with other types of gallbladder inflammation (not acute or chronic alone), without blockage of the bile ducts.

Coding Tips

  • •Use for atypical or unspecified cholecystitis presentations that don't fit standard acute/chronic categories
  • •Ensure documentation supports the use of 'other' rather than more specific cholecystitis codes
