The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Edition, (ICD-10) has been expanded to include codes for Deep Tissue Pressure Injury (DTPI). The codes listed below are to be used from October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020 to identify DTPI. The coders have been notified of the change.
Prior to this change, DTPI was coded as an unstageable pressure injury. However, the common approach to unstageable wounds is to debride them in order to determine the extent, and stage them once the wound can be seen or probed. DTPI in its early stages is not debrided; hence the code for unstageable wounds did not denote the problem. It was also nearly impossible track the number of DTPI cases, unless there were other descriptions in the medical records.
