About coding dental disorder screening
The ICD-10-CM code for dental disorder screening is Z13.84 (Encounter for screening for dental disorders).
Within Z13.8 (encounter for screening for other specified diseases and disorders), Z13.84 is specifically for encounter for screening for dental disorders. Related codes cover digestive system disorders (Z13.81), musculoskeletal disorder (Z13.82), respiratory disorder NEC (Z13.83), nervous system disorders (Z13.85), disorder due to exposure to contaminants (Z13.88) and other disorder (Z13.89).
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 951 (Other Factors Influencing Health Status, relative weight 0.5577), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
