Acquired keratosis [keratoderma] palmaris et plantaris. ICD-10-CM L85.1 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v36.0): Diagnosis Index entries containing back-references to L85.1: ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L85.9 Keratoderma, keratodermia (congenital) (palmaris et plantaris)...
If a common callous turns into a far more painful problem, then you might be suffering from a condition know as Intractable Plantar Keratosis (IPK). Learn everything you need to know about Intractable Plantar Keratosis (IPK). Intractable Plantar Keratosis is a deep callus that causes extreme amounts of pain and discomfort.

Generalized eruptive keratoacanthoma (also known as "Generalized eruptive keratoacanthoma of Grzybowski") is a cutaneous condition, a variant of keratoacanthomas, characterized by hundreds to thousands of tiny follicular keratotic papules over the entire body.
Actinic keratosis (message) Actinic keratosis / Bowen's disease / keratoacanthoma – participate! Actinic (solar) keratosis (AK), Bowen's disease (BD), keratoacanthoma (KA), and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) comprise the spectrum of premalignant and malignant keratinizing tumors.
Doctors don't know what causes keratoacanthoma, but some things make you more likely to get it: Sun exposure. HPV infection. Some cancer-causing chemicals.

Other benign neoplasm of skin, unspecified D23. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D23. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A skin neoplasm of uncertain behavior is a skin growth whose behavior can't be predicted. This diagnosis is only reached after your doctor has conducted a biopsy and sent the sample to a pathologist for examination. There's no way to know whether it will develop into cancer or not.
ICD-10 code L02. 01 for Cutaneous abscess of face is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue .
Corns and calluses are thick, hardened layers of skin that develop when the skin tries to protect itself against friction or pressure. They often form on feet and toes or hands and fingers. If you're healthy, you don't need treatment for corns and calluses unless they cause pain or you don't like how they look.

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as L85.1. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M72.2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The plantar fascia (also called plantar aponeurosis) are bands of fibrous tissue extending from the calcaneal tuberosity to the toes. The etiology of plantar fasciitis remains controversial but is likely to involve a biomechanical imbalance.
Treatment for Intractable Plantar Keratosis. Although you can treat an Intractable Plantar Keratoma conservatively with consistent trimming and padding, these procedures will only serve alleviate your pain for a short period of time.
Although they can sometimes be mistaken for an ordinary callus due to their similar appearance and location, an Intractable Plantar Keratoma is far more painful and harder to ignore due to its location deep under the ball of the foot.
This unique condition is most often caused by what is known as a “ dropped metatarsal ,” which happens when the metatarsal head drops to a lower level than the surrounding metatarsals and protrudes from the bottom of the foot. Once this drop occurs, more pressure is applied to the protruding area and causes a thick, centralized callus to form.
As Dr. Goldbaum alluded to, an IPK doesn’t just appear overnight. If you have one metatarsal bone that is longer or lower than the others, it will be hitting the ground first, causing it to sustain more force than it is used to handling.
For Noridian Medicare states, ICD-9 701.1 (keratoderma), or, perhaps, ICD-9 700 (hyperkeratosis), is to be used. I prefer to only use ICD-9 700 for the asymptomatic lesions and ICD -9 701.1 for symptomatic IPKs; it makes differentiation of intent clearer. You might add a secondary diagnosis of ICD-9 729.5 when the presentation is a symptomatic/painful lesion.
For debridement of IPKs, trimming of hyperkeratosis, the current coding would be CPT 11055 or CPT 11056 or CPT 11057 (paring/cutting of hyperkeratosis).
CPT 11042 is defined as Debridement, subcutaneous tissue (includes epidermis and dermis, if performed); first 20 sq cm or less. If the sum of the wound debridement is greater than 20 sq cm, then you would use CPT 11042 for the 1st 20 sq cm and the add-on code CPT 11045 for each additional 20 sq cm.
Response: There was a significant shift in billing E/M codes in 2021. You can bill these codes based upon examination finding (conditions/data/complexity risk) or based upon time. You could have always been able to bill on time. For CPT 99204, that requires 45-59 minutes spent, and for CPT 99205 that requires 60-74 minutes spent. Time spent includes reviewing old records, time spent with the patient, preparing the report, etc. The APMA has several webinars on this which might help you understand the 2021 billing guidelines for E/M codes.

A type 1 Excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
