Furuncle of right foot

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 on the right foot caused by a bacterial infection of a hair follicle.

Coding Tips

  • •Furuncles are single follicle infections; if multiple follicles involved, use carbuncle codes instead
  • •Document right foot laterality; foot furuncles may be complicated by walking and friction
