About coding Diaphoresis
The ICD-10-CM code for Diaphoresis is R61 (Generalized hyperhidrosis).
Don't report R61 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: focal (primary) (secondary) hyperhidrosis (L74.5-), Frey's syndrome (L74.52) and localized (primary) (secondary) hyperhidrosis (L74.5-).
Code first: , if applicable, menopausal and female climacteric states (N95.1).
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 R61)
