About coding toxic myopathy
The ICD-10-CM code for toxic myopathy is G72.2 (Myopathy due to other toxic agents).
Within G72, choose G72.2 (Myopathy due to other toxic agents) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: drug-induced myopathy (G72.0), alcoholic myopathy (G72.1), periodic paralysis (G72.3), inflammatory and immune myopathies, not elsewhere classified (G72.4), other specified myopathies (G72.8) and myopathy, unspecified (G72.9).
Code first: (T51-T65) to identify toxic agent.
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.
