ICD-10 code for Ecchymosis

The ICD-10-CM code for Ecchymosis is R58 (Hemorrhage, not elsewhere classified). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on R58.

Don't report R58 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: acute duodenal ulcer with hemorrhage (K26.0), acute gastritis with bleeding (K29.01) and ulcerative enterocolitis with rectal bleeding (K51.01).

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 314 (Other Circulatory System Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 2.0873), DRG 315 (Other Circulatory System Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 0.9508), DRG 316 (Other Circulatory System Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6677), DRG 791 (Prematurity with Major Problems, relative weight 4.1075) and DRG 793 (Full Term Neonate with Major Problems, relative weight 4.2195), in MDC 05 (Diseases and Disorders of the Circulatory System) and MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
