K08.4: Partial loss of teeth

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

K08.4 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for partial loss of teeth. 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.

complete loss of teeth (K08.1-)
congenital absence of teeth (K00.0)

Excludes2: not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

exfoliation of teeth due to systemic causes (K08.0)
