R23.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of cyanosis. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. Cyanosis is the appearance of a blue or purple coloration of the skin or mucous membranes due to the tissues near the skin surface having low oxygen saturation.

Circumoral cyanosis refers to blue discoloration around the mouth only. It's usually seen in infants, especially above the upper lip. If your child has darker skin, the discoloration might look more gray or white. You might also notice it on their hands and feet.
Literally, acrocyanosis means bluish discoloration of the extremities due to decreased amount of oxygen delivered to the peripheral part. It is a persistent disorder without episodic triphasic color response. Acrocyanosis is usually painless.
ICD-10 code R23. 0 for Cyanosis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Analysis of the results shows great inter-doctor variability: 63% considered the circumoral cyanosis as a pathologic sign and 70% as an expression of central cyanosis, although in textbooks and publications this sign is defined as an expression of peripheral cyanosis and is not considered to be pathological.

Cyanosis found only on the hands, the feet and the area around the lips is known as acrocyanosis and is a normal finding in babies. Cyanosis on the lips, tongue, head or torso is central cyanosis, and should be promptly evaluated by a doctor.
Acrocyanosis is characterized by peripheral cyanosis: persistent cyanosis of the hands, feet, knees, or face. The extremities often are cold and clammy and may exhibit some swelling (especially in warmer weather).
Acrocyanosis is rarer than Raynauds syndrome, and contrary to the latter, is characterized by nonparoxysmal, in most cases persistent, painless bluish-red symmetrical discolorations of the hands, feet and knees.

Impairment of oxygen diffusion and transfer and other conditions affecting the respiratory system that lead to hypoxia also can cause cyanosis.
The ICD code R230 is used to code Cyanosis. Cyanosis is the appearance of a blue or purple coloration of the skin or mucous membranes due to the tissues near the skin surface having low oxygen saturation.
Since, however, the presence of cyanosis is dependent upon there being an absolute quantity of deoxyhemoglobin, the bluish color is more readily apparent in those with high hemoglobin counts than it is with those with anemia. Also the bluer color is more difficult to detect on deeply pigmented skin.
When signs of cyanosis first appear, such as on the lips or fingers, intervention should be made within 3–5 minutes because a severe hypoxia or severe circulatory failure may have induced the cyanosis. Specialty:
