About coding capillary fibrosis

The ICD-10-CM code for capillary fibrosis is I70.90 (Unspecified atherosclerosis).

Within I70.9, choose I70.90 (Unspecified atherosclerosis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: generalized atherosclerosis (I70.91) and chronic total occlusion of artery of the extremities (I70.92).

Use an additional code to identify: exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z77.22), history of tobacco dependence (Z87.891), occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z57.31), tobacco dependence (F17.-) and tobacco use (Z72.0).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
