- Chronic Condition
K71.7 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for toxic liver disease with fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 441 through 443, 791, 793. Coders also document this condition as drug-induced cirrhosis of liver. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Drug induced or toxic related condition and Other specified and unspecified liver disease.
For Medicare Advantage risk adjustment, K71.7 maps to CMS-HCC Category 64 (Cirrhosis of Liver) under the V28 model, adding a risk factor of about 0.447 for a community, non-dual, aged beneficiary in payment year 2027.

Questions About K71.7Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for toxic liver disease with fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver?
The ICD-10-CM code for toxic liver disease with fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver is K71.7 (sometimes written as K717). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is K71.7 (Toxic liver disease) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report toxic liver disease with fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does K71.7 group to?
When toxic liver disease with fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 793, 791, 442, 441, 443, with relative weights from 0.6890 to 4.2192 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Can K71.7 be reported with R17?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at block K70-K77, which applies to K71.7, lists "jaundice NOS (R17)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
Does K71.7 need an additional code?
When the condition applies, yes. The Use Additional Code note at K71, which applies to K71.7, reads: code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5). The additional code is reported after K71.7.
What HCC is K71.7?
K71.7 (toxic liver disease with fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver) maps to CMS-HCC Category 64 (Cirrhosis of Liver), commonly written as HCC 64, in the CMS-HCC V28 model used for Medicare Advantage risk adjustment in payment year 2027. It does not map to any RxHCC in the Part D prescription drug model.
Does K71.7 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?
Yes. When documented and reported on a Medicare Advantage encounter, K71.7 adds a risk adjustment factor of about 0.447 to the beneficiary's RAF score for a community, non-dual, aged enrollee (published V28 weights range from 0.270 to 0.475 depending on the payment segment). A more severe related category (HCC 62 and HCC 63) supersedes it when both are reported. See the full factor table on the HCC 64 category page.
