About coding laryngectomy status
The ICD-10-CM code for laryngectomy status is Z90.02 (Acquired absence of larynx).
Within Z90.0 (acquired absence of part of head and neck), Z90.02 is specifically for acquired absence of larynx. Related codes cover eye (Z90.01) and other part of head and neck (Z90.09).
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 951 (Other Factors Influencing Health Status, relative weight 0.5577), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
