About coding pneumonia covid-19
The ICD-10-CM code for pneumonia covid-19 is J12.82 (Pneumonia due to coronavirus disease 2019).
Within J12.8 (other viral pneumonia), J12.82 is specifically for pneumonia due to coronavirus disease 2019. Related codes cover pneumonia due to SARS-associated coronavirus (J12.81) and other viral pneumonia (J12.89).
Code first: COVID-19 (U07.1) and associated influenza, if applicable (J09.X1, J10.0-, J11.0-).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
