ICD-10 code B18. 2 for Chronic viral hepatitis C is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Certain infectious and parasitic diseases .
ICD-10 code: B19. 9 Unspecified viral hepatitis without hepatic coma.
Hepatitis C can range from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a serious, long-term illness. Hepatitis C is often described as “acute,” meaning a new infection, or “chronic,” meaning long-term infection. Acute hepatitis C occurs within the first 6 months after someone is exposed to the hepatitis C virus.
After six months 70% to 85% of those infected will have failed to clear the virus spontaneously. After this period the hepatitis C virus enters what is known as the 'chronic phase'. This is when hepatitis C becomes a chronic or long-term infection.
ICD-10 code F10. 99 for Alcohol use, unspecified with unspecified alcohol-induced disorder is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders .
Unspecified viral hepatitis C without hepatic coma B19. 20 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM B19. 20 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Chronic HCV infection implies that the infection did not resolve and that the liver may suffer permanent damage. Resolved HCV infection means the viral infection has run its course or, if the patient responds to anti-viral treatment, the infection may be cleared by therapy.
If the period of inflammation or hepatocellular injury lasts for less than six months, characterized by normalization of the liver function tests, it is called acute hepatitis. In contrast, if the inflammation or hepatocellular injury persists beyond six months, it is termed chronic hepatitis.
Chronic persistent hepatitis and chronic lobular hepatitis generally tend to be benign conditions, typically with stationary courses. On the other hand, chronic active hepatitis can be a serious and progressive disorder leading to cirrhosis and death; in severe cases, the five-year survival may be as low as 40% to 50%.
What does a non-reactive HCV antibody test result mean? A non-reactive or negative antibody test means that you are not currently infected with the hepatitis C virus. However, if you think you might have been exposed to hepatitis C in the last 6 months, you will need to be tested again.
The stages of hepatitis C include: the acute stage, chronic hepatitis C, cirrhosis of the liver, and end-stage hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is an infection caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) that leads to liver inflammation. Symptoms can be mild for many years, even while liver damage is taking place.
In the chronic stage, patients typically go years or decades with no symptoms. This is sometimes referred to as "latent" or "dormant" hepatitis C. Eventually, the chronic hepatitis becomes active with liver inflammation and scarring.
Non-viral hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that can cause scarring on the liver (cirrhosis), liver cancer, liver failure and death. There are three types of non-viral hepatitis: Toxic hepatitis is caused by chemicals, drugs (prescription and over-the-counter) and nutritional supplements.
Coding Guidance 4 In ICD‐10, chronic viral hepatitis can be found under code category B18 (HCC 29). 5 In instances where the documentation does not specify that the viral hepatitis is acute or chronic, coders should assign the appropriate code for unspecified viral hepatitis from category B19 (no HCC).
Encounter for screening for other viral diseases The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z11. 59 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Unspecified viral hepatitis B without hepatic coma B19. 10 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM B19. 10 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Title XVIII of the Social Security Act, Section 1833 states that no payment shall be made to any provider of services or other person under this part unless there has been furnished such information as may be necessary in order to determine the amounts due such provider or other person under this part for the period with respect to which the amounts are being paid or for any prior period..
An active inflammatory process affecting the liver for more than six months. Causes include viral infections, autoimmune disorders, drugs, and metabolic disorders.

Where possible, the EMR offers an essential component of successful HCV screening through a best practice alert that notifies clinicians and staff when a patient is eligible for screening . Ideally this alert links to a one-time HCV screening test for eligible patients with the appropriate diagnosis code .

When you visit the doctor, you may want to ask questions to get the information you need to manage your hepatitis C. If you can, have a family member or friend take notes. You might ask:
Hepatitis A is spread when a person ingests fecal mattereven in microscopic amountsfrom contact with objects, food, or drinks contaminated by feces or stool from an infected person.
B19.20 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The period of time between exposure to hepatitis and the onset of the illness is called the incubation period. The incubation period varies depending on the specific hepatitis virus. Hepatitis A virus has an incubation period of about 15 to 45 days Hepatitis B virus from 45 to 160 days, and Hepatitis C virus from about 2 weeks to 6 months.
In chronic HCV infection, cerebrovascular acute and chronic events have been reported with a higher prevalence than that observed in the general population in many cases, such neurologic conditions were associated with the presence of mixed cryoglobulinemia.
Hepatitis C Infection is a viral infection that causes inflammation and injury to the liver.
Even though hepatitis C rarely spreads within a household, if you or a family member have the disease, it’s wise to take precautions to prevent its spread especially if anyone in your home is immune compromised, or has cuts or open sores that increase the risk of infection.
070.54 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of chronic hepatitis c without mention of hepatic coma. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
NEC "Not elsewhere classifiable" - This abbreviation in the Alphabetic Index represents "other specified". When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Alphabetic Index directs the coder to the "other specified” code in the Tabular List.
Code also note - A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.

070.32 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of chronic viral hepatitis b without mention of hepatic coma without mention of hepatitis delta. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
The following crosswalk between ICD-9 to ICD-10 is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
References found for the code 070.32 in the Index of Diseases and Injuries:
Your liver is the largest organ inside your body. It helps your body digest food, store energy, and remove poisons. Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver. One type, hepatitis B, is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Hepatitis B spreads by contact with an infected person's blood, semen, or other body fluid.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
