Diagnosis Code 576.2. ICD-9: 576.2. Short Description: Obstruction of bile duct. Long Description: Obstruction of bile duct.
Obstructive jaundice (OJ) or blockage of the bile duct code K83. 1 (according to ICD 10), occurs in approximately 45-50% of cases of all varieties of jaundice, it can be both non-tumor and tumor genesis.
Obstructive jaundice is a specific type of jaundice, where symptoms develop due to a narrowed or blocked bile duct or pancreatic duct, preventing the normal drainage of bile from the bloodstream into the intestines.
ICD-10 code R17 for Unspecified jaundice is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
ICD-9 278.02 (Overweight).
Obstructive jaundice is not a disease in itself but a symptom of an underlying condition involving the liver, the gallbladder or the pancreas. It will usually require surgical intervention, and is also known as surgical jaundice.
The most common causes of malignant obstructive jaundice were carcinoma of gall bladder (62.5%) followed by carcinoma of periampullary region (12.5%), cholangiocarcinoma (12.5%), carcinoma of head of pancreas (12.5%).
Hyperbilirubinemia is a condition in which there is a build up of bilirubin in the blood, causing yellow discoloration of the eyes and skin, called jaundice.
ICD-10 code P59. 9 for Neonatal jaundice, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period .
CONJUNCTIVAL ICTERUS. The term scleral icterus is a commonly used medical term to describe jaundice present in the eyes, but this is actually a misnomer. 3,4 It is the conjunctiva, not the sclera, that takes on the characteristic yellow hue when plasma bilirubin levels rise.
ICD-10 code E66. 9 for Obesity, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .

[18] NAFLD is traditionally billed using ICD-9 codes 571.8, 'other chronic nonalcoholic liver disease' or 571.9, 'unspecified chronic liver disease without alcohol'.
576.2 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of obstruction of bile duct. 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 576.2 in the Index of Diseases and Injuries:
Your liver makes a substance called bile that helps with digestion. Your gallbladder stores it until you need it to digest fat. Then your gallbladder pushes the bile into tubes called bile ducts. They carry the bile to your small intestine.
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.
Cholestasis is a condition where bile cannot flow from the liver to the duodenum.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 576.2 was previously used, K83.1 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
Common symptoms of jaundice are yellow skin and white of eyes, dark coloured body fluids (urine and stool). If jaundice along with severe abdominal pain, blood vomit, blood in stool, change in mental function, fever or tendency to bleed easily are cause of concern.
There are mainly 3 types of jaundice – Prehepatic, hepatic, posthepatic.
ICD 10 Codes for jaundice are located in different chapters in ICD book. ICD 10 Code for Neonatal jaundice are found in chapter 16 – conditions originating in perinatal period, code range P00 – P96
The term “postoperative’ can be misleading. A query may be necessary. Take Aways. Coders must be aware of the index entries for intestinal obstruction and follow the index. For conditions in the index, look for “with obstruction” underneath the main entry or subterm entries.
In the past, bowel obstruction was almost always coded as a diagnosis as the physician usually addressed the condition and did work up as to the cause, many times addressing the cause also. However that has changed as the coder will see in this coding tip.
Lastly, if intestinal obstruction is a complication of surgery, code K91.3-, may be warranted. Coders must validate that this is truly intestinal obstruction as a complication of surgery, and not just occurring after surgery due to another cause. The term “postoperative’ can be misleading. A query may be necessary.
