About coding Menadione deficiency
The ICD-10-CM code for Menadione deficiency is E56.1 (Deficiency of vitamin K). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on E56.1.
Within E56 (other vitamin deficiencies), E56.1 is specifically for deficiency of vitamin K. Related codes cover deficiency of vitamin E (E56.0), deficiency of other vitamins (E56.8) and vitamin deficiency, unspecified (E56.9).
Don't report E56.1 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: deficiency of coagulation factor due to vitamin K deficiency (D68.4) and vitamin K deficiency of newborn (P53).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
