About coding Blepharopyorrhea
The ICD-10-CM code for Blepharopyorrhea is A54.39 (Other gonococcal eye infection).
Within A54.3, choose A54.39 (Other gonococcal eye infection) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified (A54.30), gonococcal conjunctivitis (A54.31), gonococcal iridocyclitis (A54.32) and gonococcal keratitis (A54.33).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 124 (Other Disorders of the Eye with MCC or Thrombolytic Agent, relative weight 1.2471) and DRG 125 (Other Disorders of the Eye without MCC, relative weight 0.7702), in MDC 02 (Diseases and Disorders of the Eye), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
