Necrotizing fasciitis. M72.6 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM M72.6 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M72.6 - other international versions of ICD-10 M72.6 may differ.
The provider's final diagnostic statement states, "stage 3 necrotic decubitus ulcer of left heel associated with diabetic neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease." Because the provider documented an association between diabetes and a decubitus ulcer, which condition would be sequenced as the principal diagnosis?
Infection of the deep skin and subcutaneous tissues and necrosis of the fascia. It is caused by bacteria including group a streptococcus, staphylococcus aureus and clostridium perfringens. It may develop following trauma and invasive procedures. ICD-10-CM M72.6 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0):
0: Necrosis of skin and subcutaneous tissue, not elsewhere classified.
ICD-10 code L97. 524 for Non-pressure chronic ulcer of other part of left foot with necrosis of bone is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue .
ICD-10 code: M72. 6 Necrotizing fasciitis | gesund.bund.de.
Necrosis is commonly documented in the patient records with traumatic wounds, burns, pressure sores etc. Necrosis due to lack of oxygen such as with a MI would be considered part of the MI code as would any necrosis with infection in pneumonia. Gangrene would seem to be a complication of necrotic tissue.

Routine foot care, removal and/or trimming of corns, calluses and/or nails, and preventive maintenance in specific medical conditions (procedure code S0390), is considered a non-covered service.
Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) include necrotizing forms of fasciitis, myositis, and cellulitis [1-3]. These infections are characterized clinically by fulminant tissue destruction, systemic signs of toxicity, and high mortality.

Necrotising fasciitis is a rare but serious bacterial infection that affects the tissue beneath the skin and surrounding muscles and organs (fascia). It's sometimes called the "flesh-eating disease", although the bacteria that cause it do not "eat" flesh, but release toxins that damage nearby tissue.
Gangrene is dead tissue (necrosis) consequent to ischemia. In the image above, we can see a black area on half of the big toe in a diabetic patient. This black area represents necrosis—dead tissue—in fact, gangrene of the big toe.
Gangrenous necrosis can be considered a type of coagulative necrosis that resembles mummified tissue. It is characteristic of ischemia of lower limb and the gastrointestinal tracts. If superimposed infection of dead tissues occurs, then liquefactive necrosis ensues (wet gangrene).
Necrotizing fasciitis, also known as hemolytic streptococcal gangrene, is a very rare infection that spreads deep into the body along tissue planes.
