K75.2

K75.2 — Nonspecific reactive hepatitis

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

K75.2 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for nonspecific reactive hepatitis. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

acute or subacute hepatitis (K72.0-)
chronic hepatitis NEC (K73.-)
viral hepatitis (B15-B19)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above K75.2

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of K75.2, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

Written on K75 — Other inflammatory liver diseases

toxic liver disease (K71.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with K75.2

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at K75.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading K75.2 alone.

K73Chronic hepatitis, not elsewhere classified

Risk adjustment

K75.2 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Medicare coverage

K75.2 is named in 3 Medicare coverage policies — 3 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
