K71 — Toxic liver disease

Not billable

Is K71 billable?

No — K71 is a non-billable header code. K71 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 12 billable codes beneath K71.

Code first

The underlying condition below must be sequenced before K71. K71 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.

  • poisoning due to drug or toxin, if applicable (T36-T65 with fifth or sixth character 1-4)

Use additional code

Report an additional code alongside K71 to fully describe the condition. K71 is sequenced first.

  • code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5)

Excludes2 — not included here

The conditions below are not part of K71, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, K71 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • alcoholic liver disease (K70.-)
  • Budd-Chiari syndrome (I82.0)

Includes

Conditions classified to K71.

  • drug-induced idiosyncratic (unpredictable) liver disease
  • drug-induced toxic (predictable) liver disease

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from K70-K77

The conditions below can never be reported together with K71 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • jaundice NOS (R17)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 11

The conditions below are not part of K71, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, K71 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
  • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
  • congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
  • endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
  • injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
  • neoplasms (C00-D49)
  • symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from K70-K77

The conditions below are not part of K71, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, K71 and the excluded code may both be reported.

What codes fall under K71? (10)

How long has K71 existed?

K71 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
