About coding Insensible urinary incontinence
The ICD-10-CM code for Insensible urinary incontinence is N39.42 (Incontinence without sensory awareness).
Within N39.4, choose N39.42 (Incontinence without sensory awareness) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Urge incontinence (N39.41), Post-void dribbling (N39.43), nocturnal enuresis (N39.44), continuous leakage (N39.45), mixed incontinence (N39.46) and other specified urinary incontinence (N39.49).
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 695 (Kidney and Urinary Tract Signs and Symptoms with MCC, relative weight 1.1139) and DRG 696 (Kidney and Urinary Tract Signs and Symptoms without MCC, relative weight 0.6679), in MDC 11 (Diseases and Disorders of the Kidney and Urinary Tract), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
