About coding Bedridden
The ICD-10-CM code for Bedridden is Z74.01 (Bed confinement status).
Within Z74.0 (reduced mobility), Z74.01 is specifically for bed confinement status. Related codes cover other reduced mobility (Z74.09).
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 951 (Other Factors Influencing Health Status, relative weight 0.5577), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
