About coding Menses retention
The ICD-10-CM code for Menses retention is N94.89 (Other specified conditions associated with female genital organs and menstrual cycle).
Within N94.8, choose N94.89 (Other specified conditions associated with female genital organs and menstrual cycle) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: vulvodynia (N94.81).
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 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.8456), DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.2974), DRG 760 (Menstrual and Other Female Reproductive System Disorders with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.0129) and DRG 761 (Menstrual and Other Female Reproductive System Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7041), in MDC 13 (Diseases and Disorders of the Female Reproductive System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
