About coding Akinesia
The ICD-10-CM code for Akinesia is R29.898 (Other symptoms and signs involving the musculoskeletal system).
Within R29.89, choose R29.898 (Other symptoms and signs involving the musculoskeletal system) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: loss of height (R29.890) and ocular torticollis (R29.891).
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 555 (Signs and Symptoms of Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue with MCC, relative weight 1.2913) and DRG 556 (Signs and Symptoms of Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue without MCC, relative weight 0.8211), in MDC 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
