About coding Pseudopelade
The ICD-10-CM code for Pseudopelade is L66.0 (Pseudopelade).
Within L66 (cicatricial alopecia [scarring hair loss]), L66.0 is specifically for Pseudopelade. Related codes cover lichen planopilaris (L66.1), Folliculitis decalvans (L66.2), Perifolliculitis capitis abscedens (L66.3), Folliculitis ulerythematosa reticulata (L66.4), other cicatricial alopecia (L66.8) and cicatricial alopecia, unspecified (L66.9).
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 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.
