About coding granulation tissue
The ICD-10-CM code for granulation tissue is L92.9 (Granulomatous disorder of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, unspecified).
Within L92, choose L92.9 (Granulomatous disorder of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: granuloma annulare (L92.0), Necrobiosis lipoidica, not elsewhere classified (L92.1), granuloma faciale [eosinophilic granuloma of skin] (L92.2), foreign body granuloma of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (L92.3) and other granulomatous disorders of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (L92.8).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of L92.9, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: umbilical granuloma (P83.81).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
