Notes:
Codes highlighted in red are not billable codes. The red codes were included as guides and for
learning the new ICD-10 system.
Most codes not red highlighted in The Golden Derm List are billable codes.
The most specific code should be used. A 3 digit code is not billable if a 4 digit code is under it.
A 4 digit code is not billable if a 5 digit code is under it.
Blue fonts are hyperlinks to the web. Click to open for quick reference to ICD-10 codes.
Yellow highlights are my comments.
The Golden ICD-10 Dermatology Codes in an Alphabetical Tabular List was compiled using
information from the free web sites as follows:
http://www.tagolden.com/ICD10Index.pdf
(Official PDF Disease Index File that can be opened on the web, copied, pasted, downloaded)
http://www.tagolden.com/ICD10Tabular.pdf
(Official PDF Tabular File that can be opened on the web, copied, pasted, downloaded)
http://www.tagolden.com/ICD10Guidelines.pdf
http://www.tagolden.com/ICD10Drugs.pdf
http://www.tagolden.com/ICD10Injury.pdf
http://www.tagolden.com/ICD10Neoplasms.pdf
www.icd10data.com
(Probably the best ICD-10 Code web site concerning content of information)
www.winsplit-revolution.com/
(From this web site a small program can be downloaded and installed on your computer. The
easy to run program splits the screen so that two windows can be displayed side by side. This
enables data lists such as this one to be run side by side with another program. A useful feature
when data has to be quickly at hand and visual for easy reference. A windows splitter was
finally incorporated into Windows 8.1. Window splitting works best with a large high resolution
monitor.)
The Golden ICD-10 Dermatology Codes in an Alphabetical Tabular List is not meant to be a
complete listing of ICD-10 Dermatology codes. It is an accurate quick reference for most of the
Dermatology ICD-10 codes that will be used. The above hyperlinks provide easy and rapid
access to complete coding guides.
Methodology used to compile my list. I wanted an easy to use quick reference guide that
would combine the alphabetical disease index with the tabular list information.

The Golden Derm List was compiled by first finding the disease in the ICD-10 Disease Index.
The Disease Index should be used as a reference for the ICD-10 Tabular List, which is more
specific concerning appropriate ICD-10 codes.
The Golden Derm List will be updated on the web as improvements are made in order to keep
this program at the forefront as the best.
Please, let me know if The Golden Derm List should contain other dermatology codes or
information.
