ICD-10 code for meniscus congenital discoid

The ICD-10-CM code for meniscus congenital discoid is Q68.6 (Discoid meniscus).

Within Q68 (other congenital musculoskeletal deformities), Q68.6 is specifically for Discoid meniscus. Related codes cover congenital deformity of sternocleidomastoid muscle (Q68.0), congenital deformity of finger(s) and hand (Q68.1), congenital deformity of knee (Q68.2), congenital bowing of femur (Q68.3), congenital bowing of tibia and fibula (Q68.4), congenital bowing of long bones of leg, unspecified (Q68.5) and other specified congenital musculoskeletal deformities (Q68.8).

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 562 (Fracture, Sprain, Strain and Dislocation Except Femur, Hip, Pelvis and Thigh with MCC, relative weight 1.398) and DRG 563 (Fracture, Sprain, Strain and Dislocation Except Femur, Hip, Pelvis and Thigh without MCC, relative weight 0.8985), in MDC 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
