About coding alpha sarcoglycanopathy
The ICD-10-CM code for alpha sarcoglycanopathy is G71.0341 (Limb girdle muscular dystrophy due to alpha sarcoglycan dysfunction).
Within G71.034 (limb girdle muscular dystrophy due to sarcoglycan dysfunction), G71.0341 is specifically for limb girdle muscular dystrophy due to alpha sarcoglycan dysfunction. Related codes cover unspecified (G71.0340), beta sarcoglycan dysfunction (G71.0342) and other sarcoglycan dysfunction (G71.0349).
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 091 (Other Disorders of Nervous System with MCC, relative weight 1.7046), DRG 092 (Other Disorders of Nervous System with CC, relative weight 1.0239) and DRG 093 (Other Disorders of Nervous System without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7783), 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.
