Gingival recession

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

Billable FY2016 to FY2017, and a category header from FY2018.

Submit one of these 2 more specific codes instead:

K06.01 Gingival recession, localized (also a header)
K06.02 Gingival recession, generalized (also a header)

Use instead:

K06.010 Localized gingival recession, unspecified stated for FY2017
K06.011 Localized gingival recession, minimal stated for FY2017
K06.012 Localized gingival recession, moderate stated for FY2017
K06.013 Localized gingival recession, severe stated for FY2017
K06.020 Generalized gingival recession, unspecified stated for FY2017
K06.021 Generalized gingival recession, minimal stated for FY2017
K06.022 Generalized gingival recession, moderate stated for FY2017
K06.023 Generalized gingival recession, severe stated for FY2017

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2007 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

FY2007 Added to the draft code set draft Gingival recession
FY2018 Stopped being billable
