About coding rickets
The ICD-10-CM code for rickets is E55.0 (Rickets, active). The official index lists 7 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on E55.0.
Within E55 (vitamin D deficiency), E55.0 is specifically for rickets, active. Related codes cover unspecified (E55.9).
Don't report E55.0 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: celiac rickets (K90.0), Crohn's rickets (K50.-), hereditary vitamin D-dependent rickets (E83.32), inactive rickets (E64.3) and 3 more.
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.
