About coding rheumatoid arthritis

The ICD-10-CM code for rheumatoid arthritis is M06.9 (Rheumatoid arthritis, unspecified). The official index lists 300+ more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on M06.9.

It is also searched as RA.

Within M06, choose M06.9 (Rheumatoid arthritis, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: rheumatoid arthritis without rheumatoid factor (M06.0), Adult-onset Still's disease (M06.1), rheumatoid bursitis (M06.2), rheumatoid nodule (M06.3), inflammatory polyarthropathy (M06.4) and other specified rheumatoid arthritis (M06.8).

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 545 (Connective Tissue Disorders with MCC, relative weight 2.3892), DRG 546 (Connective Tissue Disorders with CC, relative weight 1.1745) and DRG 547 (Connective Tissue Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7526), in MDC 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
