About coding umbilicus infection
The ICD-10-CM code for umbilicus infection is L08.82 (Omphalitis not of newborn).
Within L08.8 (other specified local infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissue), L08.82 is specifically for Omphalitis not of newborn. Related codes cover pyoderma vegetans (L08.81) and other specified local infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (L08.89).
