ICD-10 code for interarch distance anomaly

The ICD-10-CM code for interarch distance anomaly is M26.25 (Anomalies of interarch distance).

Within M26.2 (anomalies of dental arch relationship), M26.25 is specifically for anomalies of interarch distance. Related codes cover unspecified anomaly of dental arch relationship (M26.20), malocclusion, Angle's class (M26.21), open occlusal relationship (M26.22), excessive horizontal overlap (M26.23), Reverse articulation (M26.24) and other anomalies of dental arch relationship (M26.29).

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 011 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with MCC, relative weight 5.6154), DRG 012 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with CC, relative weight 4.381), DRG 013 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy without CC/MCC, relative weight 2.7307), DRG 157 (Dental and Oral Diseases with MCC, relative weight 1.809), DRG 158 (Dental and Oral Diseases with CC, relative weight 0.9366) and DRG 159 (Dental and Oral Diseases without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6893), in Pre-MDC and MDC 03 (Diseases and Disorders of the Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
