About coding Dreschlera
The ICD-10-CM code for Dreschlera is B43.8 (Other forms of chromomycosis).
Within B43, choose B43.8 (Other forms of chromomycosis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: cutaneous chromomycosis (B43.0), pheomycotic brain abscess (B43.1), subcutaneous pheomycotic abscess and cyst (B43.2) and chromomycosis, unspecified (B43.9).
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 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.
