Help with a code- Cystic duct stump leak
Hello! I need help with a principle please. A patient presented with abdominal pain a few days after a Lap Chole. Imaging revealed intraabdominal fluid collection, and the patient had a CT guided placement of a JP drain. The physician notes the output is consistent with bile and a cystic duct stump leak is the expected source. I cannot for the life of me get this coded. Even if I start with complication, it keeps coming out as other, and wouldn't all of that lead it to be an ungroupable?
Help please and thank you,
Robbi

See AHA CC 2Q 1999 pg 14, for I10, the codes would be K91.89 with K83.8.
