About coding bilateral intraabdominal testis
The ICD-10-CM code for bilateral intraabdominal testis is Q53.211 (Bilateral intraabdominal testes).
Within Q53.21 (abdominal testis, bilateral), Q53.211 is specifically for bilateral intraabdominal testes. Related codes cover inguinal testes (Q53.212).
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) and DRG 795 (Normal Newborn, relative weight 0.2022), in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male Reproductive System) and MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
