ICD Code L89.150

ICD code L89.150 is a diagnosis for a pressure ulcer located in the sacral region that cannot be staged due to the wound being covered by slough or eschar, making it impossible to determine the depth.

1. Presence of a pressure ulcer located on the sacral region

2. Full-thickness tissue loss in which the base of the ulcer is covered by slough and/or eschar

3. Inability to determine the true depth of the wound due to coverage by slough or eschar

4. No visible exposure of bone, tendon, or muscle due to the wound being unstageable

5. Clinical documentation indicating the ulcer cannot be staged at the time of assessment
