The ICD10 code for the diagnosis “Pressure ulcer of sacral region, stage 4” is “L89.154”. L89.154 is a VALID/BILLABLE ICD10 code, i.e it is valid for submission for HIPAA-covered transactions. L89.154 is a billable /specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
K12.30 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of oral mucositis (ulcerative), unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. A mouth ulcer (also termed an oral ulcer, or a mucosal ulcer) is an ulcer that occurs on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity.
This diagnosis is determined based on the clinical documentation. This code should not be used if the stage is not documented. In that instance, report the unspecified code for that location. The category of codes for pressure ulcers (L89) has a note to code first any associated gangrene from category I96.

Oral lesions are mouth ulcers or sores, which may be painful. They can include abnormal cell growth and rare tongue and hard-palate (roof of mouth) disorders.
The note in ICD-10 under codes B95-B97 states that 'these categories are provided for use as supplementary or additional codes to identify the infectious agent(s) in disease classified elsewhere', so you would not use B96. 81 as a primary diagnosis, but as an additional code with the disease listed first.
Canker sores, also called aphthous ulcers, are small, shallow lesions that develop on the soft tissues in your mouth or at the base of your gums. Unlike cold sores, canker sores don't occur on the surface of your lips and they aren't contagious. They can be painful, however, and can make eating and talking difficult.
Aphthous ulcers are recurring ulcers which affect around 20 per cent of the population. Although in most people there is no known cause for aphthous ulcers, in a small number of people these ulcers may be due to an underlying Vitamin B, folate or iron deficiency.
K12. 0 - Recurrent oral aphthae. ICD-10-CM.
The back third of the tongue, which starts in the throat, is known as the base of the tongue. It is part of the oropharynx, which also includes the tonsils, the walls of the throat, and the soft palate (back part of the roof of the mouth).
ICD-10 code B37. 0 for Candidal stomatitis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Certain infectious and parasitic diseases .
Lateral border: this is the side of the tongue, and there is one on the right and one on the left of the tongue. Dorsal surface: this is the top of the tongue, which is closest to the roof of the mouth. Ventral surface: this is the undersurface of the tongue, which is connected to and closest to the floor of the mouth.
A mouth ulcer (also termed an oral ulcer, or a mucosal ulcer) is an ulcer that occurs on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity. Mouth ulcers are very common, occurring in association with many diseases and by many different mechanisms, but usually there is no serious underlying cause.
K12.30 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of oral mucositis (ulcerative), unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code K12.30 and a single ICD9 code, 528.00 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Each type of ulcer is coded with reference to the complications associated with it. For example, the code used for Acute gastric ulcer with hemorrhage would be K25.0
Ulcers are broadly classified based on the organ they are present. Each type of ulcer is further classified into acute or chronic.
There are codes ranging from problems in relationship with in-laws (Z63.1) to being pecked by a chicken (W61.33) to being bitten by a sea lion (W56.11)!
F10 is the ICD-10 code for alcohol related disorders which is classified further into alcohol abuse (F10.1), alcohol dependence (F10.2), alcohol use, unspecified (F10.9). The F10 code can be further specified by the use additional codes. For example, blood alcohol level measurement is Y90.
Ulcer is one of the most frequently reported diagnosis codes in gastroenterology. However, with the advent of ICD-10, coding for the simple diagnosis has become complicated for even the most experienced doctors. To make your life a little easier, we compiled a list of accurate coding guidelines for ulcers that you could refer to for your next case.
A mouth ulcer (also termed an oral ulcer, or a mucosal ulcer) is an ulcer that occurs on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity. Mouth ulcers are very common, occurring in association with many diseases and by many different mechanisms, but usually there is no serious underlying cause.
K12.39 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other oral mucositis (ulcerative). A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
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).
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.
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.
