The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM L89. 159 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of L89.
Deep tissue pressure injuries (DTPI) are persistent non-blanchable deep red, purple or maroon areas of intact skin, non-intact skin or blood-filled blisters caused by damage to the underlying soft tissues.

Sacral ulcers are skin injuries that occur in the sacral region of the body, near the lower back and spine. These ulcers fall under the umbrella of pressure sores, which are more commonly referred to as bedsores.
ICD-10 code L89. 159 for Pressure ulcer of sacral region, unspecified stage is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue .
Pressure-induced deep tissue damage of unspecified site L89. 96 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 L89. 96 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A deep tissue pressure injury (DTPI) is a serious type of pressure injury that begins in the muscle closest to the bone and may not be visible in its early stages.
While the mechanics of a DTI may be slightly different that a pressure sore in that injury occurs to deeper tissues as opposed to superficial skin commonly associated with pressure sores, the resulting condition can be just as painful, debilitating — and even deadly.

ICD-10 | Cerebral infarction, unspecified (I63. 9)
Bedsores are ulcers that happen on areas of the skin that are under pressure from lying in bed, sitting in a wheelchair, or wearing a cast for a prolonged time. Bedsores are also called pressure injuries, pressure sores, pressure ulcers, or decubitus ulcers.
The coders have been notified of the change. Prior to this change, DTPI was coded as an unstageable pressure injury. However, the common approach to unstageable wounds is to debride them in order to determine the extent, and stage them once the wound can be seen or probed.

Several new ICD-10-CM codes under category L89 Pressure ulcer clear up the confusion that was created between the diagnosis code set and promulgated clinical literature after the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel ( NPUAP) updated in 2016 the stages of pressure injury.#N#In the previous staging system, Stage 1 and deep tissue injury described injured intact skin, while the other stages described open ulcers. According to the NPUAP, this led to confusion because the ICD-10-CM definitions for each of the stages referred to the injuries as “pressure ulcers.” The new codes expressly state “pressure-induced deep tissue damage.”
By contrast, deep tissue injury may resolve without tissue loss. In addition, deep tissue injuries often have a combined etiology involving both ischemia and pressure.”. As a result of the AHRQ’s request, several new codes for deep pressure-induced tissue damage go into effect Oct. 1, 2019. Take note, as the new codes will change pressure ulcer ...
Pressure injury is now described as “localized damage to the skin and/or underlying soft tissue usually over a bony prominence or related to a medical or other device. The injury can present as intact skin or an open ulcer and may be painful.
According to the guidelines, when reporting pressure-induced deep tissue damage or a deep-tissue pressure injury, assign only the appropriate code for pressure-induced tissue damage. The rules for non-pressure chronic ulcers are essentially the same as coding for pressure ulcers.
The guidelines now state that “there is currently no code assignment for pressure ulcers that are completely healed at the time of admission.”.
The guidelines now state that “there is currently no code assignment for pressure ulcers that are completely healed at the time of admission.”. In contrast, if the pressure ulcer is documented as healing but not yet healed, the coder is to code the pressure ulcer to the appropriate pressure ulcer stage at the time of admission.
