About coding Talcosis
The ICD-10-CM code for Talcosis is J62.0 (Pneumoconiosis due to talc dust).
Within J62 (pneumoconiosis due to dust containing silica), J62.0 is specifically for pneumoconiosis due to talc dust. Related codes cover other dust containing silica (J62.8).
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.
