Cholelithiasis is the presence of one or more calculi (gallstones) in the gallbladder. In developed countries, about 10% of adults and 20% of people > 65 years have gallstones. Gallstones tend to be asymptomatic. The most common symptom is biliary colic; gallstones do not cause dyspepsia or fatty food intolerance.
Background. Cholelithiasis is the medical term for gallstone disease. Gallstones are concretions that form in the biliary tract, usually in the gallbladder (see the image below).
ICD-10 Code for Calculus of gallbladder with acute cholecystitis without obstruction- K80. 00- Codify by AAPC.
Calculous cholecystitis develops when the main opening to the gallbladder, the cystic duct, gets blocked by a gallstone or a substance known as biliary sludge. Biliary sludge is a mixture of bile, a liquid produced by the liver that helps digest fats, and small cholesterol and salt crystals.

What are gallstones? Gallstones, also known as symptomatic cholelithiasis, are hard, crystal-like deposits that can form in the gallbladder below the liver. They can range in size from as small as grains of sand to as large as golf balls – although small stones are much more common.

About 1 in 7 people with gallstones will develop stones in the common bile duct. This is the small tube that carries bile from the gallbladder to the intestine. Risk factors include a history of gallstones. However, choledocholithiasis can occur in people who have had their gallbladder removed.
CPT Code: 47562, 47563 Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has now replaced open cholecystectomy as the first-choice of treatment for gallstones and inflammation of the gallbladder unless there are contraindications to the laparoscopic approach.
The ICD code K80 is used to code Gallstone. A gallstone, also called a cholelith, is a stone formed within the gallbladder out of bile components. Lithiasis (stone formation) in the gallbladder is called cholelithiasis.
Numerous small gallstones made up largely of cholesterol.
Gallstones are formed in the gallbladder but may pass distally into other parts of the biliary tract such as the cystic duct, common bile duct, pancreatic duct or the ampulla of Vater. Rarely, in cases of severe inflammation, gallstones may erode through the gallbladder into adherent bowel potentially causing an obstruction termed gallstone ileus.
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.

The specific ICD 9 code for Cholelithiasis is 574.20, without any obstruction and cholecystitis. All other ICD 9 codes are having a combination of obstruction or cholecystitis with cholelithiasis. Hence, medical biller should be more careful with searching a code. Most of the times coders land up coding individual code for cholelithiasis (574.20) and cholecystitis unspecified (575.10) which is not correct, as we have a combination code for these diagnosis (574.00 and 574.01).
These laparascopy surgical procedures are done mainly with cholecystectomy to remove the gallbladder. Removal of gallbladder can treat many of the disorder especially the neoplasm.
Gallstones can cause obstruction in the gallbladder. Cholecystitis may be acute or chronic, which generally cause inflammation of gallbladder. While coding icd 9 codes for cholelithiasis one has to check the presence of cholecystitis has well, since there are some combination codes for both in icd 9 code book. Let’s have a look at the ICD 9 code for cholelithiasis and similar diagnoses.
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) of the gallbladder has been assigned to code 59.96, Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy [ESWL]. Lithotripsy of the gallbladder is an alternative to cholecystectomy for the therapeutic management of symptomatic gallbladder stones (cholelithiasis). The first extracorporeal shock wave lithotriptor device was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in December 1984 for the treatment of urinary stones. ICD-9-CM code 59.96 was assigned and implemented on October 1, 1986 to identify procedures performed with this device. ESWL is now...
Treatment typically involves starting the medical therapy for stone dissolution approximately 12 days prior to lithotripsy. Patients are then treated with the lithotriptor that generates shock waves extracorporeally by high- energy spark discharge in a water bath. The shock waves are focused toward a specific focus on the ventral side of the patient's body and upon contacting a solid body (the gallstone) create shearing forces at the interface of tissue and stone. This breaks the stone allowing the fragments to be passed into the intestinal tract. Medical therapy for stone dissolution is continued for three months after the complete disappearance of the stone.
Food and Drug Administration in December 1984 for the treatment of urinary stones. ICD-9-CM code 59.96 was assigned and implemented on October 1, 1986 to identify procedures performed with this device. ESWL is now being used on an investigational basis to treat gallbladder stones. Although the code for ESWL, 59.96, is located in the urinary section of ICD-9-CM, lithotripsy of the gallbladder can be distinguished from that of the kidney by use of the principal diagnosis. ESWL of the gallbladder can be identified through the combination of a principal diagnosis of cholelithiasis (see 574.0 - 574.2) and the procedure code 59.96. ESWL of the kidney can be identified through the combination of a principal diagnosis of kidney stone (see 592.0 - 592.9) and the procedure code for ESWL, 59.96.
K56.3 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Gallstone ileus . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
