Other disorders of skin and subcutaneous tissue related to radiation

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

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

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 3 more specific codes instead:

  • L59.0 Erythema ab igne [dermatitis ab igne]
  • L59.8 Other specified disorders of the skin and subcutaneous tissue related to radiation
  • L59.9 Disorder of the skin and subcutaneous tissue related to radiation, 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.
