ICD-10 Code L67 – Hair color and hair shaft abnormalities (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L67 – Hair color and hair shaft abnormalities
What it is
L67 identifies disorders affecting hair color or the hair shaft itself. Use it for documented abnormalities such as unusual pigmentation or structural defects of the hair.
Clinical signs
Findings may include visibly altered hair color, brittle or fragile hair, or abnormal hair texture and shape. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use L67 when the record states a hair color or hair shaft abnormality as the diagnosis, rather than a nonspecific hair complaint. It applies when the provider documents a structural or pigment-related hair disorder. Check documentation if the note does not clearly identify the condition.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for simple hair loss, scalp disease, or cosmetic hair changes without a documented abnormality. Check documentation if the hair finding is secondary to another condition.
Coding tip
Code the specific documented hair abnormality when available; otherwise, use L67 only when the provider clearly identifies a hair color or shaft disorder.
