About coding dual sensory impaired
The ICD-10-CM code for dual sensory impaired is Z73.82 (Dual sensory impairment).
Within Z73.8 (other problems related to life management difficulty), Z73.82 is specifically for dual sensory impairment. Related codes cover behavioral insomnia of childhood (Z73.81) and other problems related to life management difficulty (Z73.89).
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.
