About coding gastrostomy stoma complication
The ICD-10-CM code for gastrostomy stoma complication is K94.20 (Gastrostomy complication, unspecified). The official index lists 5 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on K94.20.
Within K94.2, choose K94.20 (Gastrostomy complication, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: gastrostomy hemorrhage (K94.21), gastrostomy infection (K94.22), gastrostomy malfunction (K94.23) and other complications of gastrostomy (K94.29).
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 393 (Other Digestive System Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 1.5881), DRG 394 (Other Digestive System Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 0.9228) and DRG 395 (Other Digestive System Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6382), in MDC 06 (Diseases and Disorders of the Digestive 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.
