L62 — Nail disorders in diseases classified elsewhere
L62 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for nail disorders in diseases classified elsewhere. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Code first
The underlying condition must be sequenced before this code.
- underlying disease, such as:
- pachydermoperiostosis (M89.4-)
Risk adjustment
L62 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.
Medicare coverage
L62 is named in 1 Medicare coverage policy — 1 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.

How L62 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to L62.
