Billable

Carbuncle, unspecified

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

What This Code Means

A larger, more severe skin infection consisting of multiple connected pus-filled bumps, occurring at an unspecified body location.

Coding Tips

  • •Carbuncles are more serious than furuncles and involve multiple follicles; ensure documentation supports this diagnosis
  • •Use specific anatomical site codes (L02.0x-L02.8x) when location is documented to improve specificity
