About coding Bestiality
The ICD-10-CM code for Bestiality is F65.89 (Other paraphilias).
Within F65.8, choose F65.89 (Other paraphilias) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Frotteurism (F65.81).
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 887 (Other Mental Disorder Diagnoses, relative weight 1.1139), in MDC 19 (Mental Diseases and Disorders), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
