About coding hypopharyngeal throat hemorrhage
The ICD-10-CM code for hypopharyngeal throat hemorrhage is R04.1 (Hemorrhage from throat).
Within R04 (hemorrhage from respiratory passages), R04.1 is specifically for hemorrhage from throat. Related codes cover epistaxis (R04.0), hemoptysis (R04.2), hemorrhage from other sites in respiratory passages (R04.8) and unspecified (R04.9).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of R04.1, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: hemoptysis (R04.2).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
