The patient's final diagnosis includes two conditions - gastritis and cholelithiasis. The codes for these conditions are K29.70 (gastritis, unspecified, without bleeding) and K80.20 (calculus of gallbladder without cholecystitis). The procedure performed was an EGD with biopsy of the stomach, which is coded as 0DB68ZX (inspection of upper gastrointestinal tract via natural or artificial opening with biopsy). Therefore, the appropriate codes to report this encounter are K29.70, K80.20, and 0DB68ZX.
