Can someone tell me when you have a dx of:

Hepatic Encephalopathy
End stage liver disease
Hepatitis C.

Would you use code 572.8 only or 572.2, and 070.70?
 
hi i would sugggest to code 572.8 and 070.71 since hepatitis c with hepatic coma have bundle code 070.71
 
Is the liver dx caused by the hepatitis? Is the hep viral, acute, in remission, etc? Without answers to these, I would code the 5722 and the 07070.
