Gallbladder disease. Clinical Information. A non-neoplastic or neoplastic disorder that affects the gallbladder. Representative examples of non-neoplastic disorders include acute and chronic cholecystitis, often associated with the presence of gallstones.
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.your gallbladder is most likely to give you trouble if something blocks the flow of bile through the bile ducts. That is usually a gallstone. Gallstone attacks usually happen after you eat. Signs of a gallstone attack may include nausea, vomiting, or pain in the abdomen, back, or just under the right arm.many gallbladder problems get better with removal of the gallbladder. Fortunately, the gallbladder is an organ that you can live without. Bile has other ways of reaching your small intestine.
Condition in which there is a deviation from or interruption of the normal structure or function of the gallbladder; generally involves the impairment of bile flow, gallstones in the biliary tract, infections, neoplasms, or other diseases. Diseases of the gallbladder.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K82.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.

The different types of imaging that gastroenterologists order to detect cholecystitis are: Abdominal ultrasound: This is the most common test performed to evaluate gallbladder abnormalities.
Laboratory tests used to show evidence of gall bladder disease include liver tests, check of blood’s amylase or lipase levels, and complete blood count (CBC). However, the key diagnostic method used today is imaging. Radiology tests provide valuable information regarding the location of gallstones, as well as size and effect on organ function. The different types of imaging that gastroenterologists order to detect cholecystitis are: 1 Abdominal ultrasound: This is the most common test performed to evaluate gallbladder abnormalities. Ultrasound shows signs of inflammation or indications that bile flow is blocked. 2 Abdominal CT scan: By providing detailed images of the gallbladder and bile ducts, CT allows the physician to check for signsof blockage of bile flow. 3 Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP): This MRI exam identifies gallstones or blockage by providing detailed images of the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas and pancreatic duct.
The physician’s operative report should include everything done to care for the patient. An article in the June 1, 2016 Bulletin of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) cautions that medical coding service providers should read the physician’s operative report carefully to identify all valid diagnoses, or else it would lead to loss of revenue for the physician. The following example is given to illustrate this:
K80.61 (calculus of gallbladder and bile duct with cholecystitis, unspecified, with obstruction) K80.62 (calculus of gallbladder and bile duct with acute cholecystitis without obstruction) K80.63 (calculus of gallbladder and bile duct with acute cholecystitis with obstruction)
K80.5 (calculus of bile duct without cholangitis or cholecystitis) K80.50 (calculus of bile duct without cholangitis or cholecystitis without obstruction) K80 .51 (calculus of bile duct without cholangitis or cholecystitis with obstruction)
Cholecystitis requires hospitalization. Treatment for acute cholecystitis is removal of the gallbladder or cholecystectomy. If there is a low risk of complications, the surgery is usually done as an outpatient procedure.
Removal of the gall bladder will allow the bile to flow directly into the small intestine from the liver.
Z87.19 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of personal history of other diseases of the digestive system. The code Z87.19 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code Z87.19 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-10 Code Edits are applicable to this code:
Z87.19 is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.
