About coding Impotence
The ICD-10-CM code for Impotence is N52.9 (Male erectile dysfunction, 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 N52.9.
Within N52, choose N52.9 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Vasculogenic erectile dysfunction (N52.0), erectile dysfunction due to diseases classified elsewhere (N52.1), drug-induced erectile dysfunction (N52.2), postprocedural erectile dysfunction (N52.3) and other male erectile dysfunction (N52.8).
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 729 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.0544) and DRG 730 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6597), in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male 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.
