About coding platelets donor
The ICD-10-CM code for platelets donor is Z52.008 (Unspecified donor, other blood).
Within Z52.00, choose Z52.008 (other blood) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: whole blood (Z52.000) and stem cells (Z52.001).
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 951 (Other Factors Influencing Health Status, relative weight 0.5577), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
