Within Z31.6 (encounter for general counseling and advice on procreation), Z31.62 is specifically for encounter for fertility preservation counseling. Related codes cover procreative counseling and advice using natural family planning (Z31.61) and encounter for other general counseling and advice on procreation (Z31.69).
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.
