ICD-10 code for Desquamative interstitial pneumonia

The ICD-10-CM code for Desquamative interstitial pneumonia is J84.117 (Desquamative interstitial pneumonia).

Within J84.11 (idiopathic interstitial pneumonia), J84.117 is specifically for Desquamative interstitial pneumonia. Related codes cover not otherwise specified (J84.111), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (J84.112), idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonitis (J84.113), acute interstitial pneumonitis (J84.114), respiratory bronchiolitis interstitial lung disease (J84.115) and Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (J84.116).

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 196 (Interstitial Lung Disease with MCC, relative weight 1.8336), DRG 197 (Interstitial Lung Disease with CC, relative weight 0.9492) and DRG 198 (Interstitial Lung Disease without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7259), in MDC 04 (Diseases and Disorders of the Respiratory System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
