About coding blood whole donor

The ICD-10-CM code for blood whole donor is Z52.000 (Unspecified donor, whole blood). The official index lists 8 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on Z52.000.

Within Z52.00 (unspecified blood donor), Z52.000 is specifically for unspecified donor, whole blood. Related codes cover stem cells (Z52.001) and other blood (Z52.008).

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 951 (Other Factors Influencing Health Status, relative weight 0.5577), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
