About coding sarcoidosis
The ICD-10-CM code for sarcoidosis is D86.9 (Sarcoidosis, unspecified). The official index lists 12 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on D86.9.
Within D86, choose D86.9 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: of lung (D86.0), of lymph nodes (D86.1), of lung with sarcoidosis of lymph nodes (D86.2), of skin (D86.3) and of other sites (D86.8).
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 196 (Interstitial Lung Disease with MCC, relative weight 1.8336), DRG 197 (Interstitial Lung Disease with CC, relative weight 0.9492) and DRG 198 (Interstitial Lung Disease without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7259), in MDC 04 (Diseases and Disorders of the Respiratory System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
