K80.41 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Calculus of bile duct w cholecystitis, unsp, w obstruction The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM K80.41 became effective on October 1, 2020.
Another indexing option is removal, subterm calculus, subterm bile duct, and subterm endoscopic–code 51.88, which is the correct code for this procedure. In ICD-10-PCS, the indexing can also be challenging for this procedure.
The correct procedure code is 0FF98ZZ, endoscopic fragmentation of common bile duct stone. In ICD-10-PCS, documentation is a decisive part of accurate procedure code assignment. The coding professional must be able to identify all procedural elements to correctly assign all seven characters of the ICD-10-PCS code.

51.10 Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography [ERCP]
CPT® includes two codes to report ERCP with stenting procedures: 43268 Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP); with endoscopic retrograde insertion of tube or stent into bile or pancreatic duct and 43269 Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP); with endoscopic retrograde removal of foreign ...
CPT code 43276: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP); with removal and exchange of stent(s), biliary or pancreatic duct, including pre- and post-dilation and guide wire passage, when performed, including sphincterotomy, when performed, each stent exchanged.
89.
This code should be assigned as the admission was for the removal of the stent even if the stent could not be found. T85.
Endoscopic Retrograde CholangiopancreatographyCPT® Code 43260 - Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) Procedures - Codify by AAPC.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, or ERCP, is a procedure to diagnose and treat problems in the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas. It combines X-ray and the use of an endoscope—a long, flexible, lighted tube.
I would code 43264 (balloon sweep) and 43262 (for the sphincterotomy). 43277 is considered inclusive to 43264 as it applies to dilating, but the sphincterotomy is separately billable.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the procedure used to place the stent. ERCP is also used to find bile duct cancer. During this procedure, you are given medicine (sedation) to put you into a light sleep so you won't feel pain. Your throat is numbed.
Sphincterotomy. Sphincterotomy is cutting the muscle that surrounds the opening of the ducts, or the papilla. This cut is made to enlarge the opening. The cut is made while your doctor looks through the ERCP scope at the papilla, or duct opening.
CPT® Code 74328 in section: Endoscopic catheterization, biliary and/or pancreatic ductal system(s)
An ERCP is a minimally invasive interventional procedure that is part of the diagnostic and treatment plan for a number of gastrointestinal conditions. Your ERCP will require that you dedicate about a day to the procedure and recovery.
ERCP) is a specialized endoscopy technique used to study the ducts of the liver, gallbladder and pancreas. An endoscope is passed through the mouth, esophagus and stomach to the small intestines (duodenum), then a small catheter is then passed through the endoscope into the ducts.
MRCP was developed in 1991 and techniques are continuing to improve. A major feature of MRCP is that it is not a therapeutic procedure, while in contrast ERCP is used for both diagnosis and treatment. MRCP also does not have the small but definite morbidity and mortality associated with ERCP.
ERCP is an uncomfortable procedure requiring adequate sedation or general anesthesia. The required level of sedation during these procedures is often deep. The patient cooperation is an imperative factor for the success of the procedure especially, to avoid intra-operative complications such as duodenal perforations.
In ICD-9-CM, indexing lithotripsy directs the coder to 51.49, Incision of other bile ducts for relief of obstruction. This code does not identify the use of the scope to accomplish the procedure. Indexing ERCP directs the coder to 51.10, Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
It is important to note that fragmentation cannot be coded with extirpation. For additional information, review the procedure coding for an ESWL of the bilateral ureters. This procedure requires two codes, 0TF7XZZ and 0TF6XZZ, as there is not a bilateral body part value for the ureter.
It is not necessary, for example, that a physician document the term “extirpation” to describe a thrombectomy. Rather, the coder would use the definition of the root operation and the procedure performed to determine that a thrombectomy is a type of Extirpation.
