About coding Acathisia
The ICD-10-CM code for Acathisia is G25.71 (Drug induced akathisia).
Within G25.7 (other and unspecified drug induced movement disorders), G25.71 is specifically for drug induced akathisia. Related codes cover drug induced movement disorder, unspecified (G25.70) and other drug induced movement disorders (G25.79).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 056 (Degenerative Nervous System Disorders with MCC, relative weight 2.2655) and DRG 057 (Degenerative Nervous System Disorders without MCC, relative weight 1.2838), in MDC 01 (Diseases and Disorders of the Nervous System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
