Common Podiatry ICD-10 Codes

The ICD-10 deadline is now only three months away. While many ICD-9 codes such as fractures have been greatly expanded to include new levels of specificity, many diagnoses have only been expanded to include loca- tion, and some still only have one code. For example, let us review some common podiatry codes.
