K80 — Cholelithiasis
Is K80 billable?
No — K80 is a non-billable header code. K80 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 40 billable codes beneath K80.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with K80 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- retained cholelithiasis following cholecystectomy (K91.86)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 11
The conditions below are not part of K80, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, K80 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)

How long has K80 existed?
K80 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
Which codes are confused with K80?
ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with K80 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
