The codes listed below are to be used from October 1, 2019 through September 30 , 2020 to identify DTPI. The coders have been notified of the change.
DTPI in its early stages is not debrided; hence the code for unstageable wounds did not denote the problem. It was also nearly impossible track the number of DTPI cases, unless there were other descriptions in the medical records. L89006 Pressure-induced deep tissue damage of unspecified elbow.
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.
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. The injury occurs as a result of intense and/or prolonged pressure or pressure in combination with shear.
Deep tissue injury is now defined as “intact or non-intact skin with localized area of persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon, purple discoloration or epidermal separation revealing a dark wound bed or blood filled blister. Pain and temperature change often precedes skin color changes.
Pressure-induced deep-tissue damage is a serious form of pressure ulcer caused by direct pressure to the skin and soft tissue that causes ischemia. The injury is characterized by purple or maroon areas of intact skin. These injuries can also present as blood blisters. Because they form in deep tissue, these ulcers may not be visible ...
Codes for deep-tissue pressure injury are classified alongside the other codes in the L89 category. This means that all guidelines pertaining to the coding of pressure ulcers apply to these codes as well.
Because they form in deep tissue, these ulcers may not be visible until they are far advanced, and they may be harder to recognize in patients with darker skin tone. Associated symptoms include pain at the site of compromised tissue, and differences in tissue consistency or temperature when compared to adjacent tissue.
ICD-10-CM codes for pressure ulcers (L89) use a fifth or sixth character of “6” to report pressure-induced deep-tissue damage or deep-tissue pressure injury
Because documentation sometimes lacks specificity, coders should be educated about the clinical indicators that suggest the presence of deep-tissue pressure injury to allow them to recognize when a query for this condition is appropriate. Clinical indicators on which to educate coders include: Etiology. Risk Factors.
The 2020 updates to ICD-10-CM contain some significant changes to Chapter 12, Diseases of the Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue. These changes include the addition of new codes for the reporting of pressure-induced deep-tissue damage, also known as deep-tissue pressure injury (DTPI), and a new chapter-specific guideline that provides direction on how these codes are assigned.
