The ICD-10-CM code for postprocedural pneumothorax nos is J95.811 (Postprocedural pneumothorax).
Within J95.81 (postprocedural pneumothorax and air leak), J95.811 is specifically for postprocedural pneumothorax. Related codes cover air leak (J95.812).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 199 (Pneumothorax with MCC, relative weight 1.7322), DRG 200 (Pneumothorax with CC, relative weight 1.0774) and DRG 201 (Pneumothorax without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6782), in MDC 04 (Diseases and Disorders of the Respiratory 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.
