I89Other noninfective disorders of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

I89 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other noninfective disorders of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • chylocele, tunica vaginalis (nonfilarial) NOS (N50.89)
  • enlarged lymph nodes NOS (R59.-)
  • filarial chylocele (B74.-)
  • hereditary lymphedema (Q82.0)

Other codes that can never be billed with I89

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at I89. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading I89 alone.

  • L03.91Acute lymphangitis, unspecified
  • D76Other specified diseases with participation of lymphoreticular and reticulohistiocytic tissue

Risk adjustment

I89 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead I89

4 child codes. Green means billable.
