About coding capillary hemangioma
The ICD-10-CM code for capillary hemangioma is I78.1 (Nevus, non-neoplastic). The official index lists 4 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on I78.1.
Within I78 (diseases of capillaries), I78.1 is specifically for nevus, non-neoplastic. Related codes cover hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (I78.0), other diseases of capillaries (I78.8) and disease of capillaries, unspecified (I78.9).
Don't report I78.1 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: nevus NOS (D22.-) and vascular NOS (Q82.5).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of I78.1, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: blue nevus (D22.-), flammeus nevus (Q82.5), hairy nevus (D22.-), melanocytic nevus (D22.-) and 5 more.
