About coding hepatis peliosis
The ICD-10-CM code for hepatis peliosis is K76.4 (Peliosis hepatis). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on K76.4.
Within K76 (other diseases of liver), K76.4 is specifically for Peliosis hepatis. Related codes cover fatty (change of) liver, not elsewhere classified (K76.0), chronic passive congestion of liver (K76.1), central hemorrhagic necrosis of liver (K76.2), infarction of liver (K76.3), hepatic veno-occlusive disease (K76.5), portal hypertension (K76.6), hepatorenal syndrome (K76.7), other specified diseases of liver (K76.8) and 1 more.
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 441 (Disorders of Liver Except Malignancy, Cirrhosis or Alcoholic Hepatitis with MCC, relative weight 1.8219), DRG 442 (Disorders of Liver Except Malignancy, Cirrhosis or Alcoholic Hepatitis with CC, relative weight 0.9602), DRG 443 (Disorders of Liver Except Malignancy, Cirrhosis or Alcoholic Hepatitis without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6885), DRG 791 (Prematurity with Major Problems, relative weight 4.1075) and DRG 793 (Full Term Neonate with Major Problems, relative weight 4.2195), in MDC 07 (Diseases and Disorders of the Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas) and MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
