What This Code Means

Excessive sweating that occurs primarily on the face without an underlying medical cause. This is a localized condition where the body produces more sweat than needed for temperature regulation.

Coding Tips

• •Verify that hyperhidrosis is primary (idiopathic) and not secondary to another condition before assigning this code
• •This code is specific to facial location; do not use if sweating affects multiple body areas
