SelectCoder Tip of the Week | | When coding for a non-pressure chronic ulcer classifiable to ICD-10-CM category L97 (non-pressure chronic ulcer of lower limb, not elsewhere classified), first code the underlying cause of the ulcer, if known, followed by the appropriate L97 code to identify the ulcer location, site, and severity. Any gangrene associated with the ulcer should also be coded first (prior to sequencing of the L97 code). Skin ulceration in a diabetic is assumed related to the diabetes, unless otherwise specified by the physician. Interested in more coding tips and claim validation tools?
