About coding Miescher's elastoma
The ICD-10-CM code for Miescher's elastoma is L87.2 (Elastosis perforans serpiginosa).
Within L87 (transepidermal elimination disorders), L87.2 is specifically for Elastosis perforans serpiginosa. Related codes cover keratosis follicularis et parafollicularis in cutem penetrans (L87.0), reactive perforating collagenosis (L87.1), other transepidermal elimination disorders (L87.8) and transepidermal elimination disorder, unspecified (L87.9).
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 606 (Minor Skin Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.5728) and DRG 607 (Minor Skin Disorders without MCC, relative weight 0.8772), in MDC 09 (Diseases and Disorders of the Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
