About coding iatrogenic thyroiditis

The ICD-10-CM code for iatrogenic thyroiditis is E06.4 (Drug-induced thyroiditis).

Within E06 (thyroiditis), E06.4 is specifically for drug-induced thyroiditis. Related codes cover acute thyroiditis (E06.0), subacute thyroiditis (E06.1), chronic thyroiditis with transient thyrotoxicosis (E06.2), autoimmune thyroiditis (E06.3), other chronic thyroiditis (E06.5) and unspecified (E06.9).

Use an additional code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5).

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