About K82

K82 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other diseases of gallbladder. It belongs to block K80-K87 (disorders of gallbladder, biliary tract and pancreas) and chapter 11 (diseases of the digestive system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 8 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: K82.0 (gallbladder), K82.1 (gallbladder), K82.2 (gallbladder), K82.3 (gallbladder), K82.4 (gallbladder), K82.8 (gallbladder), K82.9 (unspecified) and K82.A (elsewhere).

Don't report K82 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: nonvisualization of gallbladder (R93.2) and postcholecystectomy syndrome (K91.5).

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