About coding Gonadal dysgenesis

The ICD-10-CM code for Gonadal dysgenesis is Q96.9 (Turner's syndrome, unspecified). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on Q96.9.

Within Q96, choose Q96.9 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: karyotype 45, X (Q96.0), karyotype 46, X iso (Xq) (Q96.1), karyotype 46, X with abnormal sex chromosome, except iso (Xq) (Q96.2), mosaicism, 45, X/46, XX or XY (Q96.3), mosaicism, 45, X/other cell line(s) with abnormal sex chromosome (Q96.4) and other variants of Turner's syndrome (Q96.8).

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 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.
