Definition
The discipline of Hepatology encompasses the structure, function, and diseases of the liver and biliary tract. The American Board of Internal Medicine considers Hepatology part of the subspecialty of gastroenterology. Physicians who identify themselves as Hepatologists usually, but not always, have been trained in gastrointestinal programs.
Patientary is an informational reference tool built on public data (CMS NPPES and the official ICD-10-CM release). It is not medical, coding, legal or billing advice, and code assignment is the responsibility of a qualified professional. Always verify against the primary source before you bill or file.
