About coding multifocal fibrosclerosis
The ICD-10-CM code for multifocal fibrosclerosis is M35.5 (Multifocal fibrosclerosis).
Within M35 (other systemic involvement of connective tissue), M35.5 is specifically for multifocal fibrosclerosis. Related codes cover Sjogren syndrome (M35.0), other overlap syndromes (M35.1), Behcet's disease (M35.2), polymyalgia rheumatica (M35.3), diffuse (eosinophilic) fasciitis (M35.4), relapsing panniculitis [Weber-Christian] (M35.6), hypermobility syndrome (M35.7), other specified systemic involvement of connective tissue (M35.8) and 1 more.
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 545 (Connective Tissue Disorders with MCC, relative weight 2.3892), DRG 546 (Connective Tissue Disorders with CC, relative weight 1.1745) and DRG 547 (Connective Tissue Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7526), in MDC 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
