About coding nail ingrowing
The ICD-10-CM code for nail ingrowing is L60.0 (Ingrowing nail).
Within L60 (nail disorders), L60.0 is specifically for Ingrowing nail. Related codes cover Onycholysis (L60.1), Onychogryphosis (L60.2), nail dystrophy (L60.3), Beau's lines (L60.4), yellow nail syndrome (L60.5), other nail disorders (L60.8) and nail disorder, unspecified (L60.9).
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.
