K08.1 — Complete loss of teeth
Is K08.1 billable?
No — K08.1 is a non-billable header code. K08.1 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 25 billable codes beneath K08.1.
