About coding lipodystrophy
The ICD-10-CM code for lipodystrophy is E88.10 (Lipodystrophy, unspecified). The official index lists 10 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on E88.10.
Within E88.1, choose E88.10 (Lipodystrophy, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: partial lipodystrophy (E88.11), generalized lipodystrophy (E88.12), localized lipodystrophy (E88.13), HIV-associated lipodystrophy (E88.14) and other lipodystrophy, not elsewhere classified (E88.19).
Use an additional code for: codes for associated conditions.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
