L92.0 — Granuloma annulare
L92.0 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for granuloma annulare. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Perforating granuloma annulare
Other codes that can never be billed with L92.0
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at L92.0. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading L92.0 alone.
- L87Transepidermal elimination disorders
Risk adjustment
L92.0 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
L92.0 is named in 10 Medicare coverage policies — 10 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.

How L92.0 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 L92.0.
