About coding migraine type headache
The ICD-10-CM code for migraine type headache is G43.909 (Migraine, unspecified, not intractable, without status migrainosus).
Within G43.90, choose G43.909 (without status migrainosus) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: with status migrainosus (G43.901).
Use an additional code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
