About coding hypoparathyroidism
The ICD-10-CM code for hypoparathyroidism is E20.9 (Hypoparathyroidism, unspecified). The official index lists 10 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on E20.9.
Within E20, choose E20.9 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: idiopathic hypoparathyroidism (E20.0), Pseudohypoparathyroidism (E20.1) and other hypoparathyroidism (E20.8).
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), DRG 645 (Endocrine Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7459), DRG 791 (Prematurity with Major Problems, relative weight 4.1075) and DRG 793 (Full Term Neonate with Major Problems, relative weight 4.2195), in MDC 10 (Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases and Disorders) and MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
