About coding Garrod's pad
The ICD-10-CM code for Garrod's pad is M72.1 (Knuckle pads).
Within M72 (fibroblastic disorders), M72.1 is specifically for Knuckle pads. Related codes cover palmar fascial fibromatosis [Dupuytren] (M72.0), plantar fascial fibromatosis (M72.2), Pseudosarcomatous fibromatosis (M72.4), necrotizing fasciitis (M72.6), other fibroblastic disorders (M72.8) and fibroblastic disorder, unspecified (M72.9).
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 557 (Tendonitis, Myositis and Bursitis with MCC, relative weight 1.489) and DRG 558 (Tendonitis, Myositis and Bursitis without MCC, relative weight 0.8875), in MDC 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
