L89.156 ICD-10-CM Code: Pressure-induced deep tissue damage of sacral region

L89.156 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for pressure-induced deep tissue damage of sacral region. A pressure-induced deep tissue injury of the sacral region where damage occurs beneath intact skin, appearing as a purple or maroon discolored area that may indicate underlying tissue death. L89.156 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).

L89.156 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.

This code represents deep tissue damage without full-thickness skin loss; document the discoloration and suspected depth of injury.
