L89.226 ICD-10-CM Code: Pressure-induced deep tissue damage of left hip

L89.226 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for pressure-induced deep tissue damage of left hip. Pressure-induced deep tissue damage of the left hip, characterized by intact or non-intact skin with underlying tissue damage that appears as a dark discoloration or blood-filled blister. L89.226 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).

L89.226 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.

Deep tissue damage is distinct from stages 1-4; it indicates damage beneath intact skin that may progress to a deeper ulcer.
