About coding endocrine deficiency
The ICD-10-CM code for endocrine deficiency is E34.9 (Endocrine disorder, unspecified).
Within E34, choose E34.9 (Endocrine disorder, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: carcinoid syndrome (E34.0), other hypersecretion of intestinal hormones (E34.1), ectopic hormone secretion, not elsewhere classified (E34.2), short stature due to endocrine disorder (E34.3), constitutional tall stature (E34.4), androgen insensitivity syndrome (E34.5) and other specified endocrine disorders (E34.8).
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 643 (Endocrine Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.6139), DRG 644 (Endocrine Disorders with CC, relative weight 1.0044) and DRG 645 (Endocrine Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7459), in MDC 10 (Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic 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.
