ICD-10 Code K83.8 – Other specified diseases of biliary tract (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K83.8 – Other specified diseases of biliary tract
What it is
K83.8 is used for biliary tract disorders that do not fit a more specific ICD-10-CM code. It covers other documented diseases of the bile ducts or related biliary structures when the record names a specific condition.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Patients may have biliary-type pain, jaundice, abnormal imaging, or other findings consistent with a nonstandard biliary tract disorder.
When to use this code
Use K83.8 when the provider documents a specific biliary tract disease that is not indexed elsewhere in ICD-10-CM. It is appropriate when the condition involves the bile ducts or biliary tract and no more specific code applies. Check documentation for the exact diagnosis.
Do not use for
Do not use K83.8 for common biliary conditions that have their own codes, such as gallbladder disease or obstruction with a more specific diagnosis. If the chart is nonspecific, check documentation before assigning this code.
Coding tip
Match the provider’s exact wording to the ICD-10-CM Index and Tabular List before defaulting to K83.8.
