About coding microdeletions NEC
The ICD-10-CM code for microdeletions NEC is Q93.88 (Other microdeletions).
Within Q93.8, choose Q93.88 (Other microdeletions) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Velo-cardio-facial syndrome (Q93.81), Williams syndrome (Q93.82) and other deletions from the autosomes (Q93.89).
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 884 (Organic Disturbances and Intellectual Disability, relative weight 1.6001), 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.
