About coding advice contraception
The ICD-10-CM code for advice contraception is Z30.09 (Encounter for other general counseling and advice on contraception).
Within Z30.0, choose Z30.09 (Encounter for other general counseling and advice on contraception) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: encounter for initial prescription of contraceptives (Z30.01) and counseling and instruction in natural family planning to avoid pregnancy (Z30.02).
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 951 (Other Factors Influencing Health Status, relative weight 0.5577), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
