Questions About K75Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other inflammatory liver diseases?

K75 is the ICD-10-CM category for other inflammatory liver diseases, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is K75 (Other inflammatory liver diseases) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for other inflammatory liver diseases, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for other inflammatory liver diseases need a more specific code from this category, such as K75.0, K75.1, and K75.2.

Can K75 be reported with R17?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at block K70-K77, which applies to K75, 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).
