How CMS programs treat this code. These are CMS claim edits and list entries, not coverage or eligibility rules.

Hospice: not accepted as primary

Not accepted as the principal diagnosis on a hospice claim (bill types 081x and 082x). The Integrated OCE returns an edit for this code.

Hospital CC

Counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) when reported as a secondary diagnosis on an inpatient claim. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 72 codes in its exclusion list. Some MS-DRGs also ignore a CC or MCC that defines the DRG.

IPF Primary

IPF MS-DRG adjustment. A principal diagnosis of this code groups to one of these MS-DRGs. Which one depends on other facts of the stay, so the factor is a range:

MS-DRGDescriptionFactor
056Degenerative nervous system disorders w MCC1.12
057Degenerative nervous system disorders w/o MCC1.11
A principal diagnosis that groups to none of the 19 designated MS-DRGs gets no MS-DRG adjustment. Otherwise the claim still receives the federal per diem base rate and the other adjustments.
