About coding Klumpke paralysis
The ICD-10-CM code for Klumpke paralysis is P14.1 (Klumpke's paralysis due to birth injury).
Within P14 (birth injury to peripheral nervous system), P14.1 is specifically for Klumpke's paralysis due to birth injury. Related codes cover Erb's paralysis due to birth injury (P14.0), phrenic nerve paralysis due to birth injury (P14.2), other brachial plexus birth injuries (P14.3), birth injuries to other parts of peripheral nervous system (P14.8) and unspecified (P14.9).
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 794 (Neonate with Other Significant Problems, relative weight 1.4935), in 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.
