About D89.44

D89.44 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for hereditary alpha tryptasemia. It belongs to category D89 (other disorders involving the immune mechanism, not elsewhere classified), block D80-D89 (certain disorders involving the immune mechanism) and chapter 3 (diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within D89.4 (mast cell activation syndrome and related disorders), D89.44 is specifically for hereditary alpha tryptasemia. Related codes cover mast cell activation, unspecified (D89.40), monoclonal mast cell activation syndrome (D89.41), idiopathic mast cell activation syndrome (D89.42), secondary mast cell activation (D89.43) and other mast cell activation disorder (D89.49).

Use an additional code, if applicable, for: allergy status, other than to drugs and biological substances (Z91.0-) and personal history of anaphylaxis (Z87.892).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 814 (Reticuloendothelial and Immunity Disorders with MCC, relative weight 2.0729), DRG 815 (Reticuloendothelial and Immunity Disorders with CC, relative weight 1.0444) and DRG 816 (Reticuloendothelial and Immunity Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7381), in MDC 16 (Diseases and Disorders of the Blood and Blood Forming Organs and Immunological Disorders), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It was added in FY2022, effective October 1, 2021.
