About coding anophthalmos
The ICD-10-CM code for anophthalmos is Q11.1 (Other anophthalmos). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on Q11.1.
Within Q11, choose Q11.1 (Other anophthalmos) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: cystic eyeball (Q11.0), microphthalmos (Q11.2) and macrophthalmos (Q11.3).
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 124 (Other Disorders of the Eye with MCC or Thrombolytic Agent, relative weight 1.2471) and DRG 125 (Other Disorders of the Eye without MCC, relative weight 0.7702), in MDC 02 (Diseases and Disorders of the Eye), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
