About coding Miners' complaint
The ICD-10-CM code for Miners' complaint is J60 (Coalworker's pneumoconiosis).
Don't report J60 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: coalworker pneumoconiosis with tuberculosis, any type in A15 (J65).
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 196 (Interstitial Lung Disease with MCC, relative weight 1.8336), DRG 197 (Interstitial Lung Disease with CC, relative weight 0.9492) and DRG 198 (Interstitial Lung Disease without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7259), in MDC 04 (Diseases and Disorders of the Respiratory System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for J60)
