About coding Tofacitinib long-term drug therapy
The ICD-10-CM code for Tofacitinib long-term drug therapy is Z79.622 (Long term (current) use of Janus kinase inhibitor).
Within Z79.62 (long term (current) use of immunosuppressant), Z79.622 is specifically for long term (current) use of Janus kinase inhibitor. Related codes cover immunosuppressive biologic (Z79.620), calcineurin inhibitor (Z79.621), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor (Z79.623) and inhibitors of nucleotide synthesis (Z79.624).
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 949 (Aftercare with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.123) and DRG 950 (Aftercare without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7664), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
