We submitted a claim to a payer and the claim is being stopped at the front end edit, stating, " the diagnosis code B95.61 describes an external cause code or requires the diagnosis code for the first underlying disease, and should never be listed a the primary diagnosis for a procedure".
Would this be a diagnosis code we could use for the primary diagnosis?
L08.89 - Other specified local infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissue
