Wiki End Stage Liver disease

[Gemini18]

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?

 

[rajalakshmir]

hi i would sugggest to code 572.8 and 070.71 since hepatitis c with hepatic coma have bundle code 070.71

 

[LTibbetts]

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.

My view on this we code this as 070.71 as we can combined and code hepatic coma and in addition to this 572.8.
