Coding Advice SNOMET-CT

  • Possible requirement for causative agent code
  • Possible requirement for additional code to fully describe disease or condition
  • Consider additional code to identify specific condition or disease

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Unspecified local infection of skin and subcutaneous tissue (exact match)

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 686.9 was previously used, L08.9 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
