About coding alcohol dysmorphism
The ICD-10-CM code for alcohol dysmorphism is Q86.0 (Fetal alcohol syndrome (dysmorphic)).
Within Q86 (congenital malformation syndromes due to known exogenous causes, not elsewhere classified), Q86.0 is specifically for fetal alcohol syndrome (dysmorphic). Related codes cover fetal hydantoin syndrome (Q86.1), Dysmorphism due to warfarin (Q86.2) and other congenital malformation syndromes due to known exogenous causes (Q86.8).
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 794 (Neonate with Other Significant Problems, relative weight 1.4935), in MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
