About coding septic skin granuloma
The ICD-10-CM code for septic skin granuloma is L98.0 (Pyogenic granuloma).
Within L98 (other disorders of skin and subcutaneous tissue, not elsewhere classified), L98.0 is specifically for pyogenic granuloma. Related codes cover Factitial dermatitis (L98.1), febrile neutrophilic dermatosis [Sweet] (L98.2), eosinophilic cellulitis [Wells] (L98.3), Non-pressure chronic ulcer of skin, not elsewhere classified (L98.4), Mucinosis of the skin (L98.5), other infiltrative disorders of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (L98.6), excessive and redundant skin and subcutaneous tissue (L98.7), other specified disorders of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (L98.8) and 2 more.
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of L98.0, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: pyogenic granuloma of gingiva (K06.8), pyogenic granuloma of maxillary alveolar ridge (K04.5) and pyogenic granuloma of oral mucosa (K13.4).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
