L71 — Rosacea
Is L71 billable?
No — L71 is a non-billable header code. L71 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 4 billable codes beneath L71.

Use additional code
Report an additional code alongside L71 to fully describe the condition. L71 is sequenced first.
- code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from L60-L75
The conditions below can never be reported together with L71 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- congenital malformations of integument (Q84.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 12
The conditions below are not part of L71, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, L71 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
- lipomelanotic reticulosis (I89.8)
- neoplasms (C00-D49)
- symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)
- systemic connective tissue disorders (M30-M36)
- viral warts (B07.-)
