About coding eye acquired absence
The ICD-10-CM code for eye acquired absence is Z90.01 (Acquired absence of eye). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on Z90.01.
Within Z90.0 (acquired absence of part of head and neck), Z90.01 is specifically for acquired absence of eye. Related codes cover larynx (Z90.02) and other part of head and neck (Z90.09).
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 124 (Other Disorders of the Eye with MCC or Thrombolytic Agent, relative weight 1.2471) and DRG 125 (Other Disorders of the Eye without MCC, relative weight 0.7702), in MDC 02 (Diseases and Disorders of the Eye), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
