About coding occupational acne
The ICD-10-CM code for occupational acne is L70.8 (Other acne).
Within L70, choose L70.8 (Other acne) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: vulgaris (L70.0), conglobata (L70.1), varioliformis (L70.2), tropica (L70.3), infantile acne (L70.4), excoriee (L70.5) and unspecified (L70.9).
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.
