ICD-10 code for congenital chancre

The ICD-10-CM code for congenital chancre is A50.07 (Early mucocutaneous congenital syphilis).

Within A50.0 (early congenital syphilis, symptomatic), A50.07 is specifically for early mucocutaneous congenital syphilis. Related codes cover early congenital syphilitic oculopathy (A50.01), early congenital syphilitic osteochondropathy (A50.02), early congenital syphilitic pharyngitis (A50.03), early congenital syphilitic pneumonia (A50.04), early congenital syphilitic rhinitis (A50.05), early cutaneous congenital syphilis (A50.06), early visceral congenital syphilis (A50.08) and other early congenital syphilis, symptomatic (A50.09).

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 867 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 2.1859), DRG 868 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 1.0235) and DRG 869 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6787), in MDC 18 (Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, Systemic or Unspecified Sites), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
