About coding lumbosacral region disease
The ICD-10-CM code for lumbosacral region disease is M53.87 (Other specified dorsopathies, lumbosacral region).
Within M53.8 (other specified dorsopathies), M53.87 is specifically for other specified dorsopathies, lumbosacral region. Related codes cover site unspecified (M53.80), occipito-atlanto-axial region (M53.81), cervical region (M53.82), cervicothoracic region (M53.83), thoracic region (M53.84), thoracolumbar region (M53.85), lumbar region (M53.86) and sacral and sacrococcygeal region (M53.88).
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 551 (Medical Back Problems with MCC, relative weight 1.6358) and DRG 552 (Medical Back Problems without MCC, relative weight 0.9584), in MDC 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
