About coding mixed hyperlipemia
The ICD-10-CM code for mixed hyperlipemia is E78.2 (Mixed hyperlipidemia).
Within E78 (disorders of lipoprotein metabolism and other lipidemias), E78.2 is specifically for mixed hyperlipidemia. Related codes cover pure hypercholesterolemia (E78.0), pure hyperglyceridemia (E78.1), Hyperchylomicronemia (E78.3), other hyperlipidemia (E78.4), hyperlipidemia, unspecified (E78.5), lipoprotein deficiency (E78.6), disorders of bile acid and cholesterol metabolism (E78.7), other disorders of lipoprotein metabolism (E78.8) and 1 more.
Don't report E78.2 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: cerebrotendinous cholesterosis [van Bogaert-Scherer- Epstein] (E75.5) and familial combined hyperlipidemia (E78.49).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
