About coding Andrews' disease
The ICD-10-CM code for Andrews' disease is L08.89 (Other specified local infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissue).
Within L08.8, choose L08.89 (Other specified local infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissue) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: pyoderma vegetans (L08.81) and Omphalitis not of newborn (L08.82).
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 602 (Cellulitis with MCC, relative weight 1.4273) and DRG 603 (Cellulitis without MCC, relative weight 0.8635), in MDC 09 (Diseases and Disorders of the Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
