About L60

L60 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for nail disorders. It belongs to block L60-L75 (disorders of skin appendages) 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 8 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: L60.0 (nail), L60.1 (Onycholysis), L60.2 (Onychogryphosis), L60.3 (dystrophy), L60.4 (lines), L60.5 (syndrome), L60.8 (disorders) and L60.9 (unspecified).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of L60, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: clubbing of nails (R68.3) and onychia and paronychia (L03.0-).

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