About coding skin transplant
The ICD-10-CM code for skin transplant is Z94.5 (Skin transplant status).
Within Z94 (transplanted organ and tissue status), Z94.5 is specifically for skin transplant status. Related codes cover kidney transplant status (Z94.0), heart transplant status (Z94.1), lung transplant status (Z94.2), heart and lungs transplant status (Z94.3), liver transplant status (Z94.4), bone transplant status (Z94.6), corneal transplant status (Z94.7), other transplanted organ and tissue status (Z94.8) and 1 more.
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 606 (Minor Skin Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.5728) and DRG 607 (Minor Skin Disorders without MCC, relative weight 0.8772), 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.
