Unspecified viral hepatitis B without hepatic coma
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
These are the signs and symptoms of hepatitis B:
Imaging Tests
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B18 B18.
The procedure code for prophylactic vaccination and inoculation against viral hepatitis is unknown. Suggest the use of ICD-10 code z23. 9955 or z23. 9959).
The word hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. Hepatitis is most commonly caused by a virus, and five types of viral hepatitis have been identified: hepatitis A, B, C, D and E. The most common types of viral hepatitis in the U.S. are hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code Z11. 59: Encounter for screening for other viral diseases.
ICD-10-CM Code for Encounter for immunization Z23.
To bill, use the ICD-9 diagnosis code for contact with or exposure to communicable disease, other viral diseases (ICD-9 code V01. 7) along with the appropriate CPT code (90746 for hepatitis B vaccine or 90632 for hepatitis A vaccine) plus the appropriate CPT administration code (90471 for immunization administration).
The most common types of hepatitis are A, B, and C. Hepatitis A is usually a short-term infection while hepatitis B and C can cause long-term, or chronic, infections. A person can have both hepatitis B and hepatitis C at the same time.
While hepatitis C tends to get more attention and research funding, hepatitis B is considerably more common and causes more liver-related cancer and death worldwide than hepatitis C.
Scientists have identified 5 unique hepatitis viruses, identified by the letters A, B, C, D, and E. While all cause liver disease, they vary in important ways. Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is present in the faeces of infected persons and is most often transmitted through consumption of contaminated water or food.
Unspecified viral hepatitis without hepatic coma B19. 9 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. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Assign code 070.1 for a hepatitis A diagnosis or 070.0 for hepatitis A with hepatic coma. 070.32, Chronic hepatitis B without hepatic coma. 070.71, Unspecified viral hepatitis C with hepatic coma.
For asymptomatic individuals who are being screened for COVID-19 and have no known exposure to the virus, and the test results are either unknown or negative, assign code Z11. 59, Encounter for screening for other viral diseases.
