ICD-10 Code L60.8 – Other nail disorders (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L60.8 – Other nail disorders
What it is
L60.8 is used for nail conditions that do not fit a more specific ICD-10 nail disorder code. It covers other documented abnormalities of the nails when the exact diagnosis is not otherwise classified.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may include abnormal nail shape, texture, color, or growth, but you should code only when the record identifies a nonspecific nail disorder rather than a named condition.
When to use this code
Use L60.8 when the provider documents an “other” nail disorder or describes a nail abnormality that is not captured by a more specific code. It is appropriate when the note supports a nail diagnosis, but the exact type is not named. Check documentation if the record is vague or incomplete.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for clearly identified nail diseases that have their own ICD-10 code. If the documentation points to trauma, infection, or another specific cause, select the more precise diagnosis code instead.
Coding tip
Before assigning L60.8, look for a more specific nail code and code the documented cause when available.
