About coding Urticatus lichen
The ICD-10-CM code for Urticatus lichen is L28.2 (Other prurigo).
Within L28, choose L28.2 (Other prurigo) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: lichen simplex chronicus (L28.0) and prurigo nodularis (L28.1).
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.
