About coding panniculitis lupus
The ICD-10-CM code for panniculitis lupus is L93.2 (Other local lupus erythematosus).
Within L93, choose L93.2 (Other local lupus erythematosus) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Discoid lupus erythematosus (L93.0) and subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (L93.1).
Use an additional code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
