ICD-10 code L89. 623 for Pressure ulcer of left heel, stage 3 is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue .
Listen to pronunciation. (deh-KYOO-bih-tus UL-ser) Damage to an area of the skin caused by constant pressure on the area for a long time. This pressure can lessen blood flow to the affected area, which may lead to tissue damage and tissue death.

ICD-10 code category L89. 4- is used to report pressure ulcers that span multiple body parts, (contiguous site of back, buttock, and hip).
Pressure ulcer/injury codes are all located in category L89 of the ICD-10-CM code book.
two separateIf a patient is admitted to an inpatient hospital with a pressure ulcer at one stage and it progresses to a higher stage, two separate codes should be assigned: one code for the site and stage of the ulcer on admission and a second code for the same ulcer site and the highest stage reported during the stay.
ICD-10-CM Code for Non-pressure chronic ulcer of other part of left foot with unspecified severity L97. 529.
Foot ulcers are open sores or lesions that will not heal or that return over a long period of time. These sores result from the breakdown of the skin and tissues of the feet and ankles and can get infected. Symptoms of foot ulcers can include swelling, burning, and pain.
Diabetic ulcers may look similar to pressure ulcers; however, it is important to note that they are not the same thing. As the name may imply, diabetic ulcers arise on individuals who have diabetes, and the foot is one of the most common areas affected by these skin sores.
Stage 3 bedsores (also known as stage 3 pressure sores, pressure injuries, or decubitus ulcers) are deep and painful wounds in the skin. They are the third of four bedsore stages. These sores develop when a stage 2 bedsore penetrates past the top layers of skin but has yet not reached muscle or bone.
Heel pressure ulcers are caused by factors such as pressure, shear and friction and the vulnerability of the heel to pressure damage is increased by immobility, the patient's skin status, the presence of previous pressure ulcers and/or scar tissue, and suboptimal tissue perfusion.

When there is no documentation regarding the stage of the pressure ulcer, assign the appropriate code for unspecified stage (L89. 009).
Full thickness skin loss involving damage or necrosis of subcutaneous tissue that may extend down to, but not through, underlying fascia. The ulcer presents clinically as a deep crater with or without undermining of adjacent tissue.
Stage 3 describes healing or full thickness skin loss involving damage or necrosis of subcutaneous tissue, which matches the physician documentation. Following the guidelines, these ulcers would be coded as stage 3.
The term “non-pressure ulcer” was coined to designate a primary mechanism other than shear or pressure. If there is poor circulation, such as that caused by venous or arterial insufficiency or excessive moisture or trauma, a patient may develop a non-pressure ulcer.
A “diabetic foot ulcer,” which is caused exclusively by hyperglycemia, in the absence of neuropathy or ischemia, is a rarity. That term almost always refers to an ulcer on the foot of a diabetic that derives from neuro/ischemic etiology, as opposed to being strictly and principally due to pressure injury.
Pressure injuries with skin breakdown are considered pressure ulcers. An additional L89 code specifies the stage (depth of tissue injury) and the anatomical site. Pressure ulcers form in sites that experience shear or pressure, typically in tissue overlying bony prominences such as elbows, the sacrum, hips, or heels.
After 10 years, ~90 percent of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics have some degree of neuropathy, most commonly affecting the feet and legs, and 90 percent of diabetic foot ulcers have diabetic neuropathy as a contributing factor. If the diabetic doesn’t recognize discomfort due to nerve impairment, they may not adjust their shoes ...
The American Podiatric Medical Association adds that “ (diabetic foot) ulcers form due to a combination of factors , such as lack of feeling in the foot, poor circulation, foot deformities, irritation (such as friction or pressure), and trauma, as well as duration of diabetes .”. They go on to note that “vascular disease can complicate a foot ulcer, ...
Pressure ulcers are deemed patient safety indicators and hospital acquired conditions because a concerted program for prevention and treatment can prevent them and protect our patients from iatrogenic harm. The diagnosis of a “pressure ulcer” may trigger prevalence and incident reporting.
Heel ulcers, however, are usually a consequence of a pressure injury, although it is also possible to have another mechanism cause a non-pressure injury involving the heel. Diabetes may accelerate or complicate the injury. Neuropathy results in malum perforans pedis (a.k.a. bad perforating foot) ulcers.
They go on to note that “vascular disease can complicate a foot ulcer, reducing the body’s ability to heal and increasing the risk for an infection.”. In the podiatric literature, NPUAP is often referenced as having given guidance to use “diabetic foot ulcer” for “any ulcer on the foot of a diabetic, even if arterial disease and/or pressure played ...
