Acute lymphangitis of right toe

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

What This Code Means

An acute infection of the lymphatic vessels in the right toe, characterized by red streaking, swelling, and inflammation along the lymph channels.

Coding Tips

  • •Acute lymphangitis is distinct from cellulitis; ensure documentation clearly indicates lymphatic involvement rather than just skin infection
  • •This code is specific to the right toe; verify laterality is documented before coding
