About L10.8

L10.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other pemphigus. It belongs to category L10 (pemphigus), block L10-L14 (bullous disorders) and chapter 12 (diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within L10, choose L10.8 (Other pemphigus) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: vulgaris (L10.0), vegetans (L10.1), foliaceous (L10.2), Brazilian pemphigus [fogo selvagem] (L10.3), erythematosus (L10.4), drug-induced pemphigus (L10.5) and unspecified (L10.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: L10.81 (pemphigus) and L10.89 (pemphigus).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
