Obstructive Jaundice ICD-10-CM Codes | 2023

Use an Obstructive Jaundice ICD code when a patient's medical record includes a documented diagnosis of obstructive jaundice. Ensure accurate coding to reflect the underlying cause and clinical context.

Yes, obstructive jaundice diagnoses can be billable, but billability depends on the specific circumstances, documentation, and payer policies.

Common treatments for obstructive jaundice include surgical interventions (tumor resection, gallstone removal), endoscopic procedures (ERCP, stent placement), and addressing the underlying cause, such as managing infections or inflammation.
