ICD-10 code for Anogenital pruritus

The ICD-10-CM code for Anogenital pruritus is L29.3 (Anogenital pruritus, unspecified). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on L29.3.

Within L29, choose L29.3 (Anogenital pruritus, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: ani (L29.0), scroti (L29.1), vulvae (L29.2), other pruritus (L29.8) and unspecified (L29.9).

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 729 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.0544), DRG 730 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6597), DRG 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.8456), DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.2974), DRG 757 (Infections, Female Reproductive System with MCC, relative weight 1.4649), DRG 758 (Infections, Female Reproductive System with CC, relative weight 0.9908) and 1 more, in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male Reproductive System) and MDC 13 (Diseases and Disorders of the Female Reproductive 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.
