About L24.8
L24.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for irritant contact dermatitis due to other agents. It belongs to category L24 (irritant contact dermatitis), block L20-L30 (dermatitis and eczema) 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 L24, choose L24.8 (due to other agents) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: due to detergents (L24.0), due to oils and greases (L24.1), due to solvents (L24.2), due to cosmetics (L24.3), due to drugs in contact with skin (L24.4), due to other chemical products (L24.5), due to food in contact with skin (L24.6), due to plants, except food (L24.7) and 3 more.
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: L24.81 (metals) and L24.89 (agents).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
