ICD-10 code for Plexiform hemangioma

The ICD-10-CM code for Plexiform hemangioma is D18.00 (Hemangioma unspecified site). The official index lists 4 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on D18.00.

Within D18.0, choose D18.00 (unspecified site) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: of skin and subcutaneous tissue (D18.01), of intracranial structures (D18.02), of intra-abdominal structures (D18.03) and of other sites (D18.09).

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 011 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with MCC, relative weight 5.6154), DRG 012 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with CC, relative weight 4.381), DRG 013 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy without CC/MCC, relative weight 2.7307), DRG 314 (Other Circulatory System Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 2.0873), DRG 315 (Other Circulatory System Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 0.9508) and DRG 316 (Other Circulatory System Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6677), in Pre-MDC and MDC 05 (Diseases and Disorders of the Circulatory 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.
