Other congenital malformation of liver, unspecified

This code signifies a congenital structural anomaly of the liver that does not fit into more specific categories of congenital liver malformations. It indicates an abnormality present at birth affecting the liver's form or structure, without further detail regarding the specific type of malformation.

Utilize this code when documentation clearly states a congenital malformation of the liver but lacks specificity regarding the exact nature of the anomaly. This is appropriate when the provider has identified a birth defect of the liver but has not provided a more precise diagnosis, or when further investigation is pending.

• Avoid using this code if a more specific congenital liver malformation (e.g., agenesis, hypoplasia, accessory lobe) is documented.
• Query the provider for further specificity if possible to ensure the most accurate code is assigned.
• This code is for congenital conditions; do not use for acquired liver abnormalities.
