About coding Fibrinous pericarditis
The ICD-10-CM code for Fibrinous pericarditis is I30.8 (Other forms of acute pericarditis).
Within I30, choose I30.8 (Other forms of acute pericarditis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: acute nonspecific idiopathic pericarditis (I30.0), infective pericarditis (I30.1) and unspecified (I30.9).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
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) and DRG 316 (Other Circulatory System Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6677), in MDC 05 (Diseases and Disorders of the Circulatory System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
