About coding Anasarca
The ICD-10-CM code for Anasarca is R60.1 (Generalized edema). The official index lists 5 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on R60.1.
Within R60 (edema, not elsewhere classified), R60.1 is specifically for generalized edema. Related codes cover localized edema (R60.0) and edema, unspecified (R60.9).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of R60.1, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: nutritional edema (E40-E46).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
