What is the correct DX for Verrucous Keratosis.
-
Seems like that should be an easy question with a simple answer doesn't it? But if that were the case you wouldn't be asking on this forum. :)
Anyway, there is no icd code that contains the description "Verrucous Keratosis" however after researching it I find that most people use 702.19 for verrucous keratosis. They state that the histologic differential diagnosis of seborrheic keratoses includes verruca vulgari. So I would use 702.19.
