Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Hepatic angiomatosis
Risk adjustment
K76.4 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
K76.4 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.
- A56421Billing and Coding: CT of the Abdomen and Pelvis
- A56669Billing and Coding: Hospice - Liver Disease
- A57591Billing and Coding: Non-Invasive Abdominal / Visceral Vascular Studies
