About coding FPIES

The ICD-10-CM code for FPIES is K52.21 (Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome).

Within K52.2 (allergic and dietetic gastroenteritis and colitis), K52.21 is specifically for food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome. Related codes cover food protein-induced enteropathy (K52.22) and other allergic and dietetic gastroenteritis and colitis (K52.29).

Use an additional code for hypovolemic shock, if present (R57.1).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
