About coding Derealization

The ICD-10-CM code for Derealization is F48.1 (Depersonalization-derealization syndrome).

Within F48 (other nonpsychotic mental disorders), F48.1 is specifically for Depersonalization-derealization syndrome. Related codes cover Pseudobulbar affect (F48.2), other specified nonpsychotic mental disorders (F48.8) and nonpsychotic mental disorder, unspecified (F48.9).

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 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.
