Calculus of gallbladder w oth cholecystitis w/o obstruction

This code signifies the presence of gallstones within the gallbladder, co-occurring with inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis) that is not specified as acute or chronic, and without any blockage of the bile ducts. It describes a symptomatic cholelithiasis where the inflammation is present but the specific type is not documented, and there's no indication of obstruction.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states gallstones and cholecystitis, but does not specify the cholecystitis as acute or chronic, and explicitly rules out or does not mention obstruction. This is appropriate for cases where the cholecystitis is described as "other" or "unspecified" in conjunction with cholelithiasis.

• Do not use this code if the cholecystitis is documented as acute (K80.0x) or chronic (K80.10).
• Ensure documentation explicitly states "without obstruction" or implies its absence; otherwise, consider codes with obstruction.
• This code is for calculus of the gallbladder; do not use for calculus of the bile duct (K80.3x-K80.5x).
