I have been using L98.8 with a code for the underlying cause, if documented. I96 is the correct code for skin necrosis. If you go to necrosis skin you get I96, gangrene will also take you to necrosis I96. This is the correct code.
Technically, necrosis refers to the entire process of irreversible cell death, while gangrene is a term used to refer to tissue death due to some form of interrupted blood supply. However, unlike gangrene, the term necrosis doesn't automatically imply a problem as a result of inadequate blood supply.
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.
