About coding Stridulous laryngitis
The ICD-10-CM code for Stridulous laryngitis is J05.0 (Acute obstructive laryngitis [croup]).
Within J05 (acute obstructive laryngitis [croup] and epiglottitis), J05.0 is specifically for acute obstructive laryngitis [croup]. Related codes cover epiglottitis (J05.1).
Use an additional code (B95-B97) to identify infectious agent.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
