In contrast to the ICD-9 code for psoriasis which is 696.1, the ICD 10 code for the condition describes it in more specificity. In ICD-9, there was only one code representing psoriasis i.e. 696.1, whereas there are multiple ICD-10 codes that correspond to the various subtypes that fall under the category L40.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease affecting the skin. This means that the immune system, instead of protecting it, harms the body and skin. The condition causes your skin to develop scaly patches that are painful and itchy. The patches have the tendency to appear and disappear with time.
Psoriasis is one of the most prevalent autoimmune diseases in the US, with over 8 million cases reported annually. The process of coding for psoriasis can be quite daunting, given the transition from ICD 9 to ICD 10. In this article, we discuss the different types of psoriasis that a medical health provider/dermatologist can encounter and the corresponding ICD 10 codes for them.
ICD, short for International Classification of Diseases, is the global standard for reporting health conditions and diseases, as well as the identification of health trends and statistics. The ICD contains tons of codes pertaining to disorders, injuries, diseases, and other health conditions which are presented in a hierarchical and comprehensive way.
This is the most common type, making up as much as 80 percent of the total cases of psoriasis. Plaque psoriasis causes inflamed patches that make the skin appear red and sore. A whitish-silver scaling covers the patches, which are also called plaques, hence the name.
Pustular Psoriasis occurs more commonly in adults. It is characterized by areas of inflamed skin with white, pus-filled blisters that can be painful to the touch. This type is typically found in localized parts of the body, such as the feet or hands.
The first edition of the ICD was adopted in 1893. Since then, it has seen many revisions to reflect the advancements in health sciences. Today, the ICD is in its tenth edition, which was endorsed in May 1990. The ICD 10 effectively replaced the previous ICD 9 on September 1, 2015. All claims for medical services rendered after that are mandated to follow the codes set forth in the ICD 10.

Inverse psoriasis, sometimes called hidden psoriasis or intertriginous psoriasis, is a form of psoriasis that affects skin folds. These are areas of your body where skin rubs against skin.

If your inverse psoriasis isn’t getting better with topical medications and phototherapy, your doctor might prescribe systemic drugs. These are medications taken either by mouth or injection.
What is psoriasis? Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that affects your skin. Autoimmune diseases are conditions in which your immune system attacks your body. In the case of psoriasis, your skin cells multiply too quickly. The faster life cycle of skin cells causes a variety of symptoms that you’ll see on your skin.
Inverse psoriasis is caused by an abnormality in your immune system , just like other autoimmune diseases. But moisture (in the form of sweating) and friction can trigger the symptoms of this particular type of psoriasis.
A form of ultraviolet light called UVB rays can effectively slow the growth of skin cells in some people with psoriasis. Treatment with phototherapy involves using a light box that produces artificial UVB rays for a specified amount of time each session.
Because inverse psoriasis is prone to yeast and fungal infections, your doctor may dilute topical steroids and add anti-yeast and anti-fungal agents.
