About coding hemorrhoids puerperal
The ICD-10-CM code for hemorrhoids puerperal is O87.2 (Hemorrhoids in the puerperium).
Within O87 (venous complications and hemorrhoids in the puerperium), O87.2 is specifically for hemorrhoids in the puerperium. Related codes cover superficial thrombophlebitis in the puerperium (O87.0), deep phlebothrombosis in the puerperium (O87.1), cerebral venous thrombosis in the puerperium (O87.3), varicose veins of lower extremity in the puerperium (O87.4), other venous complications in the puerperium (O87.8) and venous complication in the puerperium, unspecified (O87.9).
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 769 (Postpartum and Post Abortion Diagnoses with O.R. Procedures, relative weight 1.6673) and DRG 776 (Postpartum and Post Abortion Diagnoses without O.R. Procedures, relative weight 0.6721), in MDC 14 (Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Puerperium), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
