Patient EducationClinical

Gallbladder Diseases

Your gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ under your liver. It stores bile, a fluid made by your liver to digest fat. As your stomach and intestines digest food, your gallbladder releases bile through a tube called the common bile duct. The duct connects your gallbladder and liver to your small intestine.

Questions About K82Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other diseases of gallbladder?

K82 is the ICD-10-CM category for other diseases of gallbladder, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is K82 (Other diseases of gallbladder) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for other diseases of gallbladder, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for other diseases of gallbladder need a more specific code from this category, such as K82.0, K82.1, and K82.2.

Can K82 be reported with R93.2?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on K82 lists "nonvisualization of gallbladder (R93.2)". 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).
