Icd 10 Code For Diabetic Foot Ulcer With Gangrene. Short description: Non-pressure chronic ulcer oth prt unsp foot w unsp severity The 2018 edition of ICD-10-CM L97.509 became effective on October 1, 2017. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of L97.509 - other international versions of ICD-10 L97.509 may differ.
2021 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I96 Gangrene, not elsewhere classified 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Billable/Specific Code I96 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Is I96 suppose to be used in addition to E11.52 when coding dm with wet gangrene? In this instance, the E1152 code-Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic peripheral angiopathy with gangrene has everything you need to report the code depending on what the documentation by provider states.
Bilateral toe pain; Pain in right toe; Pain of toe of right foot; Pain of toes of bilateral feet; Right toe pain ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I96 [convert to ICD-9-CM] Gangrene, not elsewhere classified
Yes, the patient has gangrene but both codes need not be reported because the E1152 has both conditions covered in its description. There are exclusion 2 notes for both of these codes. Under the I96 code, the exclusion2 note applies to the diabetes code series.
I96 - Gangrene, not elsewhere classified | ICD-10-CM.
Wet gangrene. Gangrene is referred to as wet if bacteria have infected the tissue. Swelling, blistering and a wet appearance are common features of wet gangrene. Wet gangrene may develop after a severe burn, frostbite or injury. It often occurs in people with diabetes who unknowingly injure a toe or foot.

Gangrene is dead tissue (necrosis) consequent to ischemia. In the image above, we can see a black area on half of the big toe in a diabetic patient. This black area represents necrosis—dead tissue—in fact, gangrene of the big toe.
Gangrene the localised death of body tissue. Wet gangrene is gangrene due to necrotising bacterial infections, including necrotising fasciitis. Wet gangrene should be distinguished from 'dry' gangrene, which is due to ischaemia.
The main types are: dry gangrene – where the blood flow to an area of the body becomes blocked. wet gangrene – caused by a combination of an injury and bacterial infection. gas gangrene – where an infection develops deep inside the body and the bacteria responsible begin releasing gas.
Necrosis is commonly documented in the patient records with traumatic wounds, burns, pressure sores etc. 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.

Gangrene is a serious condition where a loss of blood supply causes body tissue to die. It can affect any part of the body but typically starts in the toes, feet, fingers and hands. Gangrene can occur as a result of an injury, infection or a long-term condition that affects blood circulation.
Gangrenous Necrosis Not a true pathological type, rather, it is a clinical term describing coagulative necrosis (dry gangrene) or sometimes liquefactive necrosis (wet gangrene) affecting the extremities.
In some situations the necrotic tissue presents as wet, usually when necrosis is covered with damp dressings, allowing anaerobes to develop. This wet necrosis is often seen on the heel or other parts of the foot, the perineum, places and where maceration usually occur.
What type of necrosis is associated with wet gangrene? Wet gangrene develops only when neutrophils invade the site, causing liquefactive necrosis.
I96 has an Excludes 2 for gangrene in diabetes mellitus, and the Alphabetic Index instructs us that Type 2 diabetes “with gangrene” goes to E11.52, according to the assumptive rule. The coding guidelines remind us of the “basic rule of coding…that further research must be done when the title of the code suggested by the Alphabetic Index clearly ...
However, I strongly object to the characterization that the “gangrene is associated with the pressure ulcer rather than the diabetes mellitus.”. Gangrene has to affect a body part (e.g., musculoskeletal system, intestine portion, gallbladder, etc.); it does not occur diffusely, i.e., directly due to diabetes.
The term Gangrene in the index has moist and dry mentioned in the parenthesis (Non essential modifiers) so unless there is a sub entry that specifies something to the contrary wet vs dry is not important. Follow the index sub entries
Gangrene dx code selection is not driven by the term wet/moist, dry etc which are listed with parenthesis in the index. These non esssential modifiers can be ignored unless further specified in sub entries.
