About coding Furloughed
The ICD-10-CM code for Furloughed is Z56.89 (Other problems related to employment).
Within Z56.8, choose Z56.89 (Other problems related to employment) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: sexual harassment on the job (Z56.81) and military deployment status (Z56.82).
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.
