C79.19Secondary malignant neoplasm of other urinary organs

C79.19 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for secondary malignant neoplasm of other urinary organs. It belongs to category C79 (secondary malignant neoplasm of other and unspecified sites), block C76-C80 (malignant neoplasms of ill-defined, other secondary and unspecified sites) and chapter 2 (neoplasms). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within C79.1, choose C79.19 (other urinary organs) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified urinary organs (C79.10) and bladder (C79.11).

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 656 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with MCC, relative weight 3.2786), DRG 657 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with CC, relative weight 1.8365), DRG 658 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.538), DRG 686 (Kidney and Urinary Tract Neoplasms with MCC, relative weight 1.7237), DRG 687 (Kidney and Urinary Tract Neoplasms with CC, relative weight 0.9957) and DRG 688 (Kidney and Urinary Tract Neoplasms without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7333), in MDC 11 (Diseases and Disorders of the Kidney and Urinary Tract), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 198.1 (secondary malignant neoplasm of other urinary organs).
