About coding palmar fascia contraction
The ICD-10-CM code for palmar fascia contraction is M72.0 (Palmar fascial fibromatosis [Dupuytren]).
Within M72 (fibroblastic disorders), M72.0 is specifically for palmar fascial fibromatosis [Dupuytren]. Related codes cover Knuckle pads (M72.1), plantar fascial fibromatosis (M72.2), Pseudosarcomatous fibromatosis (M72.4), necrotizing fasciitis (M72.6), other fibroblastic disorders (M72.8) and fibroblastic disorder, unspecified (M72.9).
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 557 (Tendonitis, Myositis and Bursitis with MCC, relative weight 1.489) and DRG 558 (Tendonitis, Myositis and Bursitis without MCC, relative weight 0.8875), 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.
