About coding lip pitting
The ICD-10-CM code for lip pitting is R60.0 (Localized edema).
Within R60 (edema, not elsewhere classified), R60.0 is specifically for localized edema. Related codes cover generalized edema (R60.1) and edema, unspecified (R60.9).
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 947 (Signs and Symptoms with MCC, relative weight 1.261) and DRG 948 (Signs and Symptoms without MCC, relative weight 0.7835), 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.
