About coding Leukoedema
The ICD-10-CM code for Leukoedema is K13.29 (Other disturbances of oral epithelium, including tongue).
Within K13.2, choose K13.29 (Other disturbances of oral epithelium, including tongue) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: leukoplakia of oral mucosa, including tongue (K13.21), minimal keratinized residual ridge mucosa (K13.22), excessive keratinized residual ridge mucosa (K13.23) and Leukokeratosis nicotina palati (K13.24).
Use an additional code to identify: alcohol abuse and dependence (F10.-), exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z77.22), exposure to tobacco smoke in the perinatal period (P96.81), history of tobacco dependence (Z87.891), occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z57.31) and 2 more.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
