About coding Carcinomaphobia
The ICD-10-CM code for Carcinomaphobia is F45.29 (Other hypochondriacal disorders).
Within F45.2, choose F45.29 (Other hypochondriacal disorders) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: hypochondriacal disorder, unspecified (F45.20), Hypochondriasis (F45.21) and body dysmorphic disorder (F45.22).
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 882 (Neuroses Except Depressive, relative weight 0.9952), 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.
