About coding latex sensitive
The ICD-10-CM code for latex sensitive is Z91.040 (Latex allergy status).
Within Z91.04 (nonmedicinal substance allergy status), Z91.040 is specifically for latex allergy status. Related codes cover radiographic dye allergy status (Z91.041) and other nonmedicinal substance allergy status (Z91.048).
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 951 (Other Factors Influencing Health Status, relative weight 0.5577), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
