About coding Methemoglobin sensitive
The ICD-10-CM code for Methemoglobin sensitive is D74.8 (Other methemoglobinemias).
Within D74, choose D74.8 (Other methemoglobinemias) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: congenital methemoglobinemia (D74.0) and unspecified (D74.9).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 811 (Red Blood Cell Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.3988) and DRG 812 (Red Blood Cell Disorders without MCC, relative weight 0.9234), in MDC 16 (Diseases and Disorders of the Blood and Blood Forming Organs and Immunological 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.
