About L76

L76 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for intraoperative and postprocedural complications of skin and subcutaneous tissue. It belongs to block L76 (intraoperative and postprocedural complications of skin and subcutaneous tissue) 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 5 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: L76.0 (procedure), L76.1 (procedure), L76.2 (procedure), L76.3 (procedure) and L76.8 (tissue).

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