About coding bladder filling defect
The ICD-10-CM code for bladder filling defect is R93.41 (Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of renal pelvis, ureter, or bladder).
Within R93.4 (abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of urinary organs), R93.41 is specifically for abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of renal pelvis, ureter, or bladder. Related codes cover kidney (R93.42) and other urinary organs (R93.49).
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 695 (Kidney and Urinary Tract Signs and Symptoms with MCC, relative weight 1.1139) and DRG 696 (Kidney and Urinary Tract Signs and Symptoms without MCC, relative weight 0.6679), in MDC 11 (Diseases and Disorders of the Kidney and Urinary Tract), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
