About coding Delinquency
The ICD-10-CM code for Delinquency is F91.8 (Other conduct disorders). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on F91.8.
Within F91, choose F91.8 (Other conduct disorders) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: conduct disorder confined to family context (F91.0), conduct disorder, childhood-onset type (F91.1), conduct disorder, adolescent-onset type (F91.2), Oppositional defiant disorder (F91.3) and conduct disorder, unspecified (F91.9).
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 886 (Behavioral and Developmental Disorders, relative weight 1.8678), 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.
