About coding vasculare atrophicans poikiloderma
The ICD-10-CM code for vasculare atrophicans poikiloderma is L94.5 (Poikiloderma vasculare atrophicans).
Within L94 (other localized connective tissue disorders), L94.5 is specifically for Poikiloderma vasculare atrophicans. Related codes cover localized scleroderma [morphea] (L94.0), linear scleroderma (L94.1), Calcinosis cutis (L94.2), Sclerodactyly (L94.3), Gottron's papules (L94.4), Ainhum (L94.6), other specified localized connective tissue disorders (L94.8) and localized connective tissue disorder, unspecified (L94.9).
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 595 (Major Skin Disorders with MCC, relative weight 2.0239) and DRG 596 (Major Skin Disorders without MCC, relative weight 1.1071), 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.
