Acute lymphangitis of right upper limb

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

What This Code Means

Inflammation of the lymph vessels in the right upper arm or shoulder area, typically caused by infection and presenting with red streaking and swollen lymph nodes.

Coding Tips

  • •This code specifies the right upper limb; do not use if the infection is in the axilla (armpit), which has its own code.
  • •Document whether the infection involves the arm, forearm, or hand for accurate coding.
