About coding mitral valve leaflet cleft
The ICD-10-CM code for mitral valve leaflet cleft is Q23.82 (Congenital mitral valve cleft leaflet).
Within Q23.8 (other congenital malformations of aortic and mitral valves), Q23.82 is specifically for congenital mitral valve cleft leaflet. Related codes cover Bicuspid aortic valve (Q23.81) and other congenital malformations of aortic and mitral valves (Q23.88).
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 306 (Cardiac Congenital and Valvular Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.546) and DRG 307 (Cardiac Congenital and Valvular Disorders without MCC, relative weight 0.9148), in MDC 05 (Diseases and Disorders of the Circulatory 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.
