About coding Sudoriparous abscess
The ICD-10-CM code for Sudoriparous abscess is L75.8 (Other apocrine sweat disorders).
Within L75, choose L75.8 (Other apocrine sweat disorders) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Bromhidrosis (L75.0), Chromhidrosis (L75.1), apocrine miliaria (L75.2) and apocrine sweat disorder, unspecified (L75.9).
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.
