What This Code Means
L80 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for vitiligo. A skin condition where patches of skin lose their pigment, resulting in white or pale areas on the body. L80 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (l00-l99), within the section covering other disorders of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (l80-l99).
L80 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.
Vitiligo is a chronic condition; document the extent and location of depigmented patches for clinical clarity.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for L80 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •Vitiligo is a chronic condition; document the extent and location of depigmented patches for clinical clarity
- •Specify if vitiligo is localized or generalized when documentation supports it for more precise coding
