About K80.41

K80.41 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for calculus of bile duct with cholecystitis, unspecified, with obstruction. It belongs to category K80 (cholelithiasis), block K80-K87 (disorders of gallbladder, biliary tract and pancreas) and chapter 11 (diseases of the digestive system). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within K80.4, choose K80.41 (unspecified, with obstruction) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified, without obstruction (K80.40), acute cholecystitis without obstruction (K80.42), acute cholecystitis with obstruction (K80.43), chronic cholecystitis without obstruction (K80.44), chronic cholecystitis with obstruction (K80.45), acute and chronic cholecystitis without obstruction (K80.46) and acute and chronic cholecystitis with obstruction (K80.47).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 444 (Disorders of the Biliary Tract with MCC, relative weight 1.6665), DRG 445 (Disorders of the Biliary Tract with CC, relative weight 1.0872) and DRG 446 (Disorders of the Biliary Tract without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.8124), in MDC 07 (Diseases and Disorders of the Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 574.41 (calculus of bile duct with other cholecystitis, with obstruction).
