About L64

L64 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for androgenic alopecia. 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: L64.0 (alopecia), L64.8 (alopecia) and L64.9 (unspecified).

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