ICD-10 code for Bursopathy

The ICD-10-CM code for Bursopathy is M71.9 (Bursopathy, unspecified). The official index lists 11 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on M71.9.

Within M71, choose M71.9 (Bursopathy, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: abscess of bursa (M71.0), other infective bursitis (M71.1), Synovial cyst of popliteal space [Baker] (M71.2), other bursal cyst (M71.3), calcium deposit in bursa (M71.4), other bursitis, not elsewhere classified (M71.5) and other specified bursopathies (M71.8).

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 557 (Tendonitis, Myositis and Bursitis with MCC, relative weight 1.489) and DRG 558 (Tendonitis, Myositis and Bursitis without MCC, relative weight 0.8875), in MDC 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
