About coding conjunctiva emphysema
The ICD-10-CM code for conjunctiva emphysema is H11.89 (Other specified disorders of conjunctiva).
Within H11.8, choose H11.89 (Other specified disorders of conjunctiva) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Pseudopterygium of conjunctiva (H11.81) and Conjunctivochalasis (H11.82).
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 124 (Other Disorders of the Eye with MCC or Thrombolytic Agent, relative weight 1.2471) and DRG 125 (Other Disorders of the Eye without MCC, relative weight 0.7702), in MDC 02 (Diseases and Disorders of the Eye), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
