About coding Peritonei pneumatosis
The ICD-10-CM code for Peritonei pneumatosis is K66.8 (Other specified disorders of peritoneum).
Within K66, choose K66.8 (Other specified disorders of peritoneum) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: peritoneal adhesions (postprocedural) (postinfection) (K66.0), Hemoperitoneum (K66.1) and disorder of peritoneum, unspecified (K66.9).
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 393 (Other Digestive System Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 1.5881), DRG 394 (Other Digestive System Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 0.9228) and DRG 395 (Other Digestive System Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6382), in MDC 06 (Diseases and Disorders of the Digestive System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
