Patient EducationClinical

Hair Problems

The average person has 5 million hairs. Hair grows all over your body except on your lips, palms, and the soles of your feet. It takes about a month for healthy hair to grow half an inch. Most hairs grow for up to six years and then fall out. New hairs grow in their place.

Questions About L67Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for hair color and hair shaft abnormalities?

L67 is the ICD-10-CM category for hair color and hair shaft abnormalities, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is L67 (Hair color and hair shaft abnormalities) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for hair color and hair shaft abnormalities, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for hair color and hair shaft abnormalities need a more specific code from this category, such as L67.0, L67.1, and L67.8.

Can L67 be reported with Q84.1?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on L67 lists "monilethrix (Q84.1)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
