About coding Striate skin atrophy
The ICD-10-CM code for Striate skin atrophy is L90.6 (Striae atrophicae). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on L90.6.
Within L90 (atrophic disorders of skin), L90.6 is specifically for Striae atrophicae. Related codes cover lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (L90.0), Anetoderma of Schweninger-Buzzi (L90.1), Anetoderma of Jadassohn-Pellizzari (L90.2), Atrophoderma of Pasini and Pierini (L90.3), acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (L90.4), scar conditions and fibrosis of skin (L90.5), other atrophic disorders of skin (L90.8) and atrophic disorder of skin, unspecified (L90.9).
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 606 (Minor Skin Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.5728) and DRG 607 (Minor Skin Disorders without MCC, relative weight 0.8772), in MDC 09 (Diseases and Disorders of the Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
