Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. L89.222 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of pressure ulcer of left hip, stage 2. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Pressure ulcer L89- >. ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I83.0 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I83.2 "Includes" further defines, or give examples of, the content of the code or category. An ulceration caused by prolonged pressure on the skin and tissues when one stays in one position for a long period of time, such as lying in bed.
Pressure ulcer L89- >. An ulceration caused by prolonged pressure on the skin and tissues when one stays in one position for a long period of time, such as lying in bed. The bony areas of the body are the most frequently affected sites which become ischemic (ischemia) under sustained and constant pressure. Death of tissue due to external pressure.
Example: A patient with a stage 3 pressure ulcer on her left heel and a stage 2 pressure ulcer of her left hip is scheduled for debridement. The correct codes and sequence are: If the pressure ulcer is healed completely, a code is not reported for the pressure ulcer.

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 .
When the stage of the pressure ulcer is not documented, the appropriate ICD-10-CM code for unspecified stage (L89. –9) should be assigned. If the documentation is not clear whether pressure ulcer is current or being treated, you should ask the provider.
An ischial pressure ulcer is a wound that develops on the lower part of the buttocks due to prolonged pressure. The affected area is called the ischium, the curved portion of the pelvic bone, or the bone that is usually felt while sitting down.
Hip replacement, also called hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to address hip pain. The surgery replaces parts of the hip joint with artificial implants.

A: The coder would report ICD-10-CM code I96 (gangrene, not elsewhere classified) as the principal diagnosis because of the “code first” note under code category L89. - (pressure ulcer). The coder would then report ICD-10-CM code L89.
Ulceration caused by prolonged pressure in patients permitted to lie too still for a long period of time; bony prominences of the body are the most frequently affected sites; ulcer is caused by ischemia of the underlying structures of the skin, fat, and muscles as a result of the sustained and constant pressure. Codes.
Pressure sores are areas of damaged skin caused by staying in one position for too long. They commonly form where your bones are close to your skin, such as your ankles, back, elbows, heels and hips. You are at risk if you are bedridden, use a wheelchair, or are unable to change your position.
A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( L89) and the excluded code together.
The sequence depends on the pressure ulcer being treated. If all the pressure ulcers are being treated, sequence the code for the most severe pressure ulcer first. Example: A patient with a stage 3 pressure ulcer on her left heel and a stage 2 pressure ulcer of her left hip is scheduled for debridement.
Pressure ulcers are areas of damaged skin and tissue developing as a result of compromised circulation. When a patient stays in one position without movement, the weight of the bones against the skin inhibits circulation and causes an ulceration of the tissue. Pressure ulcers usually form near the heaviest bones (buttocks, hips, and heels).
An unstageable ulcer is when the base of the ulcer is covered in eschar or slough so much that it cannot be determined how deep the ulcer is. This diagnosis is determined based on the clinical documentation. This code should not be used if the stage is not documented.
Pressure ulcers usually form near the heaviest bones (buttocks, hips, and heels). There are stages of pressure ulcers that identify the extent of the tissue damage. Stage 1—Persistent focal erythema. Stage 2—Partial thickness skin loss involving epidermis, dermis, or both.
If the pressure ulcer is healed completely , a code is not reported for the pressure ulcer. There are some cases where the pressure ulcer will get worse during the course of the admission. For example, the patient is admitted for treatment of a stage 2 ulcer that progresses to stage 3.
L89.222 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of pressure ulcer of left hip, stage 2. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Pressure ulcers, also known as pressure sores, bedsores and decubitus ulcers, are localized injuries to the skin and/or underlying tissue that usually occur over a bony prominence as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear and/or friction.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code L89.222 and a single ICD9 code, 707.22 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
