About coding Blanche atrophy
The ICD-10-CM code for Blanche atrophy is L95.0 (Livedoid vasculitis).
Within L95 (vasculitis limited to skin, not elsewhere classified), L95.0 is specifically for Livedoid vasculitis. Related codes cover erythema elevatum diutinum (L95.1), other vasculitis limited to the skin (L95.8) and vasculitis limited to the skin, unspecified (L95.9).
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 606 (Minor Skin Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.5728) and DRG 607 (Minor Skin Disorders without MCC, relative weight 0.8772), 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.
