Non-pressure chronic ulcer of right upper arm with fat layer exposed

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

What This Code Means

A chronic, non-healing ulcer on the right upper arm where the skin has broken down and the fatty tissue layer underneath is exposed.

Coding Tips

  • •Document the depth of the ulcer carefully; this code indicates fat layer exposure but no muscle involvement
  • •Differentiate from deeper ulcers (L98.A113-A114) that involve muscle or bone necrosis
