About coding Cherubism
The ICD-10-CM code for Cherubism is M27.8 (Other specified diseases of jaws).
Within M27, choose M27.8 (Other specified diseases of jaws) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: developmental disorders of jaws (M27.0), giant cell granuloma, central (M27.1), inflammatory conditions of jaws (M27.2), alveolitis of jaws (M27.3), other and unspecified cysts of jaw (M27.4), periradicular pathology associated with previous endodontic treatment (M27.5), endosseous dental implant failure (M27.6) and disease of jaws, unspecified (M27.9).
Don't report M27.8 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: jaw pain (R68.84).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for M27.8)
- jaw pain (R68.84)
