Calculus of bile duct with chronic cholecystitis 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 chronic (long-term) inflammation of the gallbladder, without blockage.

Coding Tips

  • •Distinguish between acute and chronic cholecystitis; chronic implies ongoing inflammation without acute exacerbation
  • •Confirm no obstruction is present; obstruction would require a different code
