About coding Blepharospasm
The ICD-10-CM code for Blepharospasm is G24.5 (Blepharospasm). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on G24.5.
Within G24 (dystonia), G24.5 is specifically for Blepharospasm. Related codes cover drug induced dystonia (G24.0), genetic torsion dystonia (G24.1), idiopathic nonfamilial dystonia (G24.2), Spasmodic torticollis (G24.3), idiopathic orofacial dystonia (G24.4), other dystonia (G24.8) and unspecified (G24.9).
Don't report G24.5 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: drug induced blepharospasm (G24.01).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
