ICD-10 Code for Elephantiasis
Also indexed as (nonfilarial)
The ICD-10-CM code for elephantiasis is I89.0 — Lymphedema, not elsewhere classified. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for elephantiasis with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
I89.0 is billable but unspecified. If the documentation names a type, site or cause, one of the more specific codes below is likely expected.
