About coding DIC syndrome
The ICD-10-CM code for DIC syndrome is D65 (Disseminated intravascular coagulation [defibrination syndrome]).
Don't report D65 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: in newborn (P60) and pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O45.0, O46.0, O67.0, O72.3).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of D65, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: abortion or ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.1).
As a secondary diagnosis it is an MCC (major complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the highest-paying "with MCC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for D65)
