About coding primary frambesia
The ICD-10-CM code for primary frambesia is A66.0 (Initial lesions of yaws).
Within A66 (yaws), A66.0 is specifically for initial lesions of yaws. Related codes cover multiple papillomata and wet crab yaws (A66.1), other early skin lesions of yaws (A66.2), Hyperkeratosis of yaws (A66.3), Gummata and ulcers of yaws (A66.4), Gangosa (A66.5), bone and joint lesions of yaws (A66.6), other manifestations of yaws (A66.7), latent yaws (A66.8) and 1 more.
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 606 (Minor Skin Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.5728) and DRG 607 (Minor Skin Disorders without MCC, relative weight 0.8772), in MDC 09 (Diseases and Disorders of the Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
