K12.2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K12.2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
submandibular space includes the salivary and parotid glands. If it's something other than that DR needs to be more specific. I would code 526.89, because I would want further documentation from the provider before I would code diseases of the salivary glands 527-.
K12.2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K12.2 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of K12.2 - other international versions of ICD-10 K12.2 may differ. A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here".
Submandibular space infection is a rapidly spreading, bilateral, indurated cellulitis occurring in the suprahyoid soft tissues, the floor of the mouth, and both sublingual and submaxillary spaces without abscess formation. Although not a true abscess, it resembles one clinically and is treated similarly.

M27. 2 - Inflammatory conditions of jaws. ICD-10-CM.
Signs and symptoms of a severe submental abscess include a firm swelling below the chin and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). Treatment is by surgical incision and drainage, with the incision running transversely in a skin crease behind the chin.
Odontogenic infections are infections that originate in the teeth and/or their supporting tissues. Such infections are common, and a large proportion of infections of the head and neck region are of odontogenic origin.
ICD-10 code K12. 2 for Cellulitis and abscess of mouth is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
Osteomyelitis of the jaws is now defined by the presence of exposed bone in the mouth, which fails to heal after appropriate intervention. Osteomyelitis is an inflammation of bone cortex and marrow that develops in the jaw usually after a chronic infection.
Introduction. Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the mandible is a severe iatrogenic disease of devitalized bone caused by radiation therapy of oral and oropharyngeal cancers. It is a state of injured bone tissue with inadequate healing or remodeling response of at least three to six months.

The submandibular space is a suprahyoid deep compartment of the head and neck that encompasses the submandibular gland and surrounding structures.
The submandibular gland is the second largest of the three main salivary glands, which also include the parotid and sublingual glands. The submandibular glands are paired major salivary glands that lie in the submandibular triangle. The glands have a superficial and deep lobe separated by the mylohyoid muscle [1].
The submental space is located between the mylohyoid muscle superiorly, the platysma muscle inferiorly, under the chin in the midline. The space coincides with the anatomic region termed the submental triangle, part of the anterior triangle of the neck.
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 ( M27.2) and the excluded code together.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T81.43 became effective on October 1, 2021.
T81.43 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T82.7XXA became effective on October 1, 2021.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
