About coding Tunga penetrans infestation
The ICD-10-CM code for Tunga penetrans infestation is B88.1 (Tungiasis [sandflea infestation]).
Within B88 (other infestations), B88.1 is specifically for Tungiasis [sandflea infestation]. Related codes cover other acariasis (B88.0), other arthropod infestations (B88.2), external hirudiniasis (B88.3), other specified infestations (B88.8) and infestation, unspecified (B88.9).
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.
