About coding Lazy leukocyte syndrome
The ICD-10-CM code for Lazy leukocyte syndrome is D70.8 (Other neutropenia).
Within D70, choose D70.8 (Other neutropenia) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: congenital agranulocytosis (D70.0), agranulocytosis secondary to cancer chemotherapy (D70.1), other drug-induced agranulocytosis (D70.2), due to infection (D70.3), Cyclic neutropenia (D70.4) and unspecified (D70.9).
Use an additional code for any associated: fever (R50.81).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
