About coding Tertiary rupia
The ICD-10-CM code for Tertiary rupia is A52.79 (Other symptomatic late syphilis).
Within A52.7, choose A52.79 (Other symptomatic late syphilis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: late syphilitic oculopathy (A52.71), syphilis of lung and bronchus (A52.72), symptomatic late syphilis of other respiratory organs (A52.73), syphilis of liver and other viscera (A52.74), syphilis of kidney and ureter (A52.75), other genitourinary symptomatic late syphilis (A52.76), syphilis of bone and joint (A52.77) and syphilis of other musculoskeletal tissue (A52.78).
Don't report A52.79 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: syphilitic leukoderma (secondary) (A51.39).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for A52.79)
- syphilitic leukoderma (secondary) (A51.39)
