ICD-10 Code for Granuloma

The ICD-10-CM code for granuloma is L92.9 — Granulomatous disorder of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, unspecified. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for granuloma with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).

BillableUnspecified

L92.9 is billable but unspecified. If the documentation names a type, site or cause, one of the more specific codes below is likely expected.

Which granuloma code should you use?

The Alphabetic Index lists 65 codes under Granuloma. Which one applies depends on the qualifier documented in the record — the type, site, cause, or associated condition. Find the qualifier below, then verify the code in the Tabular List before using it.
