Freckles

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

What This Code Means

Small, flat brown spots that appear on the skin, typically on sun-exposed areas like the face and arms.

Coding Tips

  • •Freckles are benign and do not require treatment; code only if clinically significant or causing patient concern
  • •Distinguish freckles from other pigmented lesions; if malignancy is suspected, use appropriate neoplasm codes instead
