About coding Lymphocytes elevated
The ICD-10-CM code for Lymphocytes elevated is D72.820 (Lymphocytosis (symptomatic)).
Within D72.82 (elevated white blood cell count), D72.820 is specifically for Lymphocytosis (symptomatic). Related codes cover Monocytosis (symptomatic) (D72.821), Plasmacytosis (D72.822), Leukemoid reaction (D72.823), Basophilia (D72.824), Bandemia (D72.825), other elevated white blood cell count (D72.828) and unspecified (D72.829).
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 814 (Reticuloendothelial and Immunity Disorders with MCC, relative weight 2.0729), DRG 815 (Reticuloendothelial and Immunity Disorders with CC, relative weight 1.0444) and DRG 816 (Reticuloendothelial and Immunity Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7381), in MDC 16 (Diseases and Disorders of the Blood and Blood Forming Organs and Immunological Disorders), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
