About coding artificial insemination infection
The ICD-10-CM code for artificial insemination infection is N98.0 (Infection associated with artificial insemination).
Within N98 (complications associated with artificial fertilization), N98.0 is specifically for infection associated with artificial insemination. Related codes cover Hyperstimulation of ovaries (N98.1), complications of attempted introduction of fertilized ovum following in vitro fertilization (N98.2), complications of attempted introduction of embryo in embryo transfer (N98.3), other complications associated with artificial fertilization (N98.8) and complication associated with artificial fertilization, unspecified (N98.9).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 791 (Prematurity with Major Problems, relative weight 4.1075), DRG 793 (Full Term Neonate with Major Problems, relative weight 4.2195), DRG 856 (Postoperative or Post-Traumatic Infections with O.R. Procedures with MCC, relative weight 4.4826), DRG 857 (Postoperative or Post-Traumatic Infections with O.R. Procedures with CC, relative weight 2.1678), DRG 858 (Postoperative or Post-Traumatic Infections with O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.4036), DRG 867 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 2.1859) and 2 more, in MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period) and MDC 18 (Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, Systemic or Unspecified Sites), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
