ICD-10 code for nasal mucous membrane hyperactive

The ICD-10-CM code for nasal mucous membrane hyperactive is J34.3 (Hypertrophy of nasal turbinates).

Within J34 (other and unspecified disorders of nose and nasal sinuses), J34.3 is specifically for hypertrophy of nasal turbinates. Related codes cover abscess, furuncle and carbuncle of nose (J34.0), cyst and mucocele of nose and nasal sinus (J34.1), Deviated nasal septum (J34.2), other specified disorders of nose and nasal sinuses (J34.8) and unspecified disorder of nose and nasal sinuses (J34.9).

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 154 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 1.5921), DRG 155 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 0.9322) and DRG 156 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6659), in MDC 03 (Diseases and Disorders of the Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
