About coding congenital uremia
The ICD-10-CM code for congenital uremia is P96.0 (Congenital renal failure).
Within P96 (other conditions originating in the perinatal period), P96.0 is specifically for congenital renal failure. Related codes cover neonatal withdrawal symptoms from maternal use of drugs of addiction (P96.1), withdrawal symptoms from therapeutic use of drugs in newborn (P96.2), Wide cranial sutures of newborn (P96.3), complication to newborn due to (fetal) intrauterine procedure (P96.5), other specified conditions originating in the perinatal period (P96.8) and condition originating in the perinatal period, unspecified (P96.9).
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 794 (Neonate with Other Significant Problems, relative weight 1.4935), in 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.
