About coding Gopalan's syndrome
The ICD-10-CM code for Gopalan's syndrome is E53.0 (Riboflavin deficiency).
Within E53 (deficiency of other B group vitamins), E53.0 is specifically for Riboflavin deficiency. Related codes cover Pyridoxine deficiency (E53.1), deficiency of other specified B group vitamins (E53.8) and vitamin B deficiency, unspecified (E53.9).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 640 (Miscellaneous Disorders of Nutrition, Metabolism, Fluids and Electrolytes with MCC, relative weight 1.3395) and DRG 641 (Miscellaneous Disorders of Nutrition, Metabolism, Fluids and Electrolytes without MCC, relative weight 0.7865), in MDC 10 (Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases and Disorders), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
