About coding Epulis
The ICD-10-CM code for Epulis is K06.8 (Other specified disorders of gingiva and edentulous alveolar ridge).
Within K06, choose K06.8 (Other specified disorders of gingiva and edentulous alveolar ridge) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: gingival recession (K06.0), gingival enlargement (K06.1), gingival and edentulous alveolar ridge lesions associated with trauma (K06.2), horizontal alveolar bone loss (K06.3) and disorder of gingiva and edentulous alveolar ridge, unspecified (K06.9).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of K06.8, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: gingival cyst (K09.0).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
