About coding Hoffmann's syndrome
The ICD-10-CM code for Hoffmann's syndrome is E03.9 (Hypothyroidism, unspecified).
Within E03, choose E03.9 (Hypothyroidism, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: congenital hypothyroidism with diffuse goiter (E03.0), congenital hypothyroidism without goiter (E03.1), hypothyroidism due to medicaments and other exogenous substances (E03.2), postinfectious hypothyroidism (E03.3), atrophy of thyroid (acquired) (E03.4), myxedema coma (E03.5) and other specified hypothyroidism (E03.8).
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 643 (Endocrine Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.6139), DRG 644 (Endocrine Disorders with CC, relative weight 1.0044) and DRG 645 (Endocrine Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7459), 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.
