ICD-10 Code K80.7 – Calculus of gallbladder and bile duct without cholecystitis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K80.7 – Calculus of gallbladder and bile duct without cholecystitis
What it is
This code identifies gallstones or bile duct stones when cholecystitis is not documented. Use it for calculi in the gallbladder, bile duct, or both, as long as inflammation of the gallbladder is absent.
Clinical signs
Patients may have biliary colic, right upper quadrant pain, nausea, or jaundice if a duct is involved. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation and imaging findings for the exact stone location.
When to use this code
Use K80.7 when the record clearly states gallstones or bile duct stones and does not mention cholecystitis. It also applies when the provider documents calculus of the gallbladder and bile duct without inflammation. If the note is unclear about site or associated conditions, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not assign this code if cholecystitis is documented, including acute or chronic forms. Do not use it when the chart only mentions biliary obstruction, pain, or suspected stones without confirmation.
Coding tip
Verify whether the stone is in the gallbladder, bile duct, or both, and confirm that cholecystitis is explicitly absent.
