About coding Epoophoron cyst
The ICD-10-CM code for Epoophoron cyst is Q50.5 (Embryonic cyst of broad ligament).
Within Q50 (congenital malformations of ovaries, fallopian tubes and broad ligaments), Q50.5 is specifically for Embryonic cyst of broad ligament. Related codes cover congenital absence of ovary (Q50.0), developmental ovarian cyst (Q50.1), congenital torsion of ovary (Q50.2), other congenital malformations of ovary (Q50.3), Embryonic cyst of fallopian tube (Q50.4) and other congenital malformations of fallopian tube and broad ligament (Q50.6).
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 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.8456), DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.2974), DRG 760 (Menstrual and Other Female Reproductive System Disorders with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.0129) and DRG 761 (Menstrual and Other Female Reproductive System Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7041), in MDC 13 (Diseases and Disorders of the Female Reproductive System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
