Submit one of these 8 more specific codes instead:

  • L10.0 Pemphigus vulgaris
  • L10.1 Pemphigus vegetans
  • L10.2 Pemphigus foliaceous
  • L10.3 Brazilian pemphigus [fogo selvagem]
  • L10.4 Pemphigus erythematosus
  • L10.5 Drug-induced pemphigus
  • L10.8 Other pemphigus (also a header)
  • L10.9 Pemphigus, unspecified

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 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.

  1. FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Pemphigus
