K06.0 — Gingival recession
Is K06.0 billable?
No — K06.0 is a non-billable header code. K06.0 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 8 billable codes beneath K06.0.
