Other specified disorders of gingiva and edentulous alveolar ridge
ValidICD-10-CM diagnosis code.
Valid for claims with a date of service in the current code year.
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.

Official coding rules
Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.
Inherited from K06 Other disorders of gingiva and edentulous alveolar ridge
Excludes2 - not included here
- acute gingivitis (K05.0)
- atrophy of edentulous alveolar ridge (K08.2)
- chronic gingivitis (K05.1)
- gingivitis NOS (K05.1)
