ICD-10 Code L92.0 – Granuloma annulare (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code L92.0 – Granuloma annulare
What it is
Granuloma annulare is a benign inflammatory skin condition that often forms ring-shaped lesions. You use this code when the record documents this specific dermatologic diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include smooth, firm papules arranged in annular or arc-shaped patterns, most often on the hands or feet. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use L92.0 when the provider clearly diagnoses granuloma annulare in the assessment or problem list. It also fits follow-up visits for the same confirmed condition, including localized or generalized forms if documented as granuloma annulare. Check documentation if the note only says “rash” or “annular lesion” without a diagnosis.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for other annular skin eruptions, infectious granulomas, or nonspecific dermatitis. If the diagnosis is uncertain, check documentation rather than assuming granuloma annulare.
Coding tip
Code from the provider’s stated diagnosis, not from appearance alone.
