About coding Repens dermatitis
The ICD-10-CM code for Repens dermatitis is L40.2 (Acrodermatitis continua).
Within L40 (psoriasis), L40.2 is specifically for acrodermatitis continua. Related codes cover vulgaris (L40.0), generalized pustular psoriasis (L40.1), Pustulosis palmaris et plantaris (L40.3), Guttate psoriasis (L40.4), Arthropathic psoriasis (L40.5), other psoriasis (L40.8) and unspecified (L40.9).
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 595 (Major Skin Disorders with MCC, relative weight 2.0239) and DRG 596 (Major Skin Disorders without MCC, relative weight 1.1071), 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.
