About coding delayed dentition
The ICD-10-CM code for delayed dentition is K00.6 (Disturbances in tooth eruption).
Within K00 (disorders of tooth development and eruption), K00.6 is specifically for disturbances in tooth eruption. Related codes cover Anodontia (K00.0), Supernumerary teeth (K00.1), abnormalities of size and form of teeth (K00.2), Mottled teeth (K00.3), disturbances in tooth formation (K00.4), hereditary disturbances in tooth structure, not elsewhere classified (K00.5), Teething syndrome (K00.7), other disorders of tooth development (K00.8) and 1 more.
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of K00.6, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: embedded and impacted teeth (K01.-).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
