About coding Linotypist's cramp
The ICD-10-CM code for Linotypist's cramp is F48.8 (Other specified nonpsychotic mental disorders). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on F48.8.
Within F48, choose F48.8 (Other specified nonpsychotic mental disorders) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Depersonalization-derealization syndrome (F48.1), Pseudobulbar affect (F48.2) and nonpsychotic mental disorder, unspecified (F48.9).
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 882 (Neuroses Except Depressive, relative weight 0.9952), in MDC 19 (Mental Diseases and Disorders), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
