Hepatitis C ICD-10-CM Codes | 2025

You should use a Hepatitis C ICD-10-CM code when documenting a confirmed diagnosis of Hepatitis C, whether it's acute, chronic, or unspecified. Accurate coding ensures proper classification for treatment, billing, and reporting.

Yes, most Hepatitis C ICD-10-CM codes—such as B17.1, B18.2, Z22.52, B19.20, and B19.21—are billable diagnosis codes. However, unrelated codes like those for hepatitis A or B should not be used for hepatitis C cases.

Common treatments for hepatitis C include direct-acting antiviral (DAA) medications that target and eliminate the virus. The treatment plan depends on the genotype, disease stage, and patient health profile.
