Furuncle of perineum

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A painful, pus-filled bump (furuncle) that develops in the perineal area, which is the region between the genitals and anus.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify the specific anatomical location is documented as perineum to distinguish from other trunk locations
  • •Confirm whether this is a single furuncle or if multiple lesions are present, which may indicate carbuncle coding instead
