New ICD-10-CM Code – Vaping Related Disorder

As of January 21, 2020, a total of 2,711 hospitalized EVALI cases or deaths have been reported to CDC.

In response to recent occurrences of vaping related disorders, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) is implementing a new diagnosis code into the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM), for reporting vaping-related disorder effective April 1, 2020.  The Grouper assigns each case into an MS-DRG based on the reported diagnosis and procedure codes and demographic information (age, sex, and discharge status). The new ICD10 MS-DRG Grouper software package to accommodate this new code, Version 37.1, is effective for discharges on or after April 1, 2020.

ICD-10-CM:         U07.0 Vaping Related disorder

Hospitals:            MS-DRG 205,206
