ICD-10 code for hypochondriacal disorder

The ICD-10-CM code for hypochondriacal disorder is F45.20 (Hypochondriacal disorder, unspecified). The official index lists 3 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on F45.20.

Within F45.2, choose F45.20 (Hypochondriacal disorder, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Hypochondriasis (F45.21), body dysmorphic disorder (F45.22) and other hypochondriacal disorders (F45.29).

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 882 (Neuroses Except Depressive, relative weight 0.9952), in MDC 19 (Mental 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.
