About M26.652
M26.652 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for arthropathy of left temporomandibular joint. It belongs to category M26 (dentofacial anomalies [including malocclusion]), block M26-M27 (dentofacial anomalies [including malocclusion] and other disorders of jaw) and chapter 13 (diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Within M26.65 (arthropathy of temporomandibular joint), M26.652 is specifically for arthropathy of left temporomandibular joint. Related codes cover right temporomandibular joint (M26.651), bilateral temporomandibular joint (M26.653) and unspecified temporomandibular joint (M26.659).
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 011 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with MCC, relative weight 5.6154), DRG 012 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with CC, relative weight 4.381), DRG 013 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy without CC/MCC, relative weight 2.7307), DRG 157 (Dental and Oral Diseases with MCC, relative weight 1.809), DRG 158 (Dental and Oral Diseases with CC, relative weight 0.9366) and DRG 159 (Dental and Oral Diseases without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6893), in Pre-MDC and MDC 03 (Diseases and Disorders of the Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat), 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 FY2021, effective October 1, 2020.
