On inpatient claims, arthropathies in other specified diseases classified elsewhere, left elbow maps to MS-DRG 554, 553, with relative weights from 0.8328 to 1.2492 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Can M14.822 be a principal diagnosis?
No. This is a manifestation code: arthropathies in other specified diseases classified elsewhere, left elbow describes the manifestation of an underlying disease rather than the disease itself, so the underlying condition is sequenced first.
Can M14.822 be reported with M36.4?
