About coding withdrawal state tobacco

The ICD-10-CM code for withdrawal state tobacco is F17.203 (Nicotine dependence unspecified, with withdrawal).

Within F17.20, choose F17.203 (dependence unspecified, with withdrawal) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: uncomplicated (F17.200), in remission (F17.201), with other nicotine-induced disorders (F17.208) and with unspecified nicotine-induced disorders (F17.209).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 791 (Prematurity with Major Problems, relative weight 4.1075), DRG 793 (Full Term Neonate with Major Problems, relative weight 4.2195), DRG 894 (Alcohol, Drug Abuse or Dependence, Left AMA, relative weight 0.6275), DRG 895 (Alcohol, Drug Abuse or Dependence with Rehabilitation Therapy, relative weight 1.4266), DRG 896 (Alcohol, Drug Abuse or Dependence without Rehabilitation Therapy with MCC, relative weight 1.6617) and DRG 897 (Alcohol, Drug Abuse or Dependence without Rehabilitation Therapy without MCC, relative weight 0.8584), in MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period) and MDC 20 (Alcohol/Drug Use and Alcohol/Drug Induced Organic Mental Disorders), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
