Calculus of bile duct with chronic cholangitis without obstruction

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

What This Code Means

Gallstones in the bile duct with long-standing inflammation of the bile duct without blockage. Chronic cholangitis develops slowly over time.

Coding Tips

  • •Ensure chronic cholangitis is specifically documented, distinguishing it from acute presentations
  • •Confirm obstruction is absent; if present, use K80.35 instead
