About coding Alveolocapillary block
The ICD-10-CM code for Alveolocapillary block is J84.10 (Pulmonary fibrosis, unspecified).
Within J84.1, choose J84.10 (Pulmonary fibrosis, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (J84.11) and in diseases classified elsewhere (J84.17).
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 196 (Interstitial Lung Disease with MCC, relative weight 1.8336), DRG 197 (Interstitial Lung Disease with CC, relative weight 0.9492) and DRG 198 (Interstitial Lung Disease without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7259), in MDC 04 (Diseases and Disorders of the Respiratory System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
