About coding neuromuscular system disease
The ICD-10-CM code for neuromuscular system disease is G70.9 (Myoneural disorder, unspecified).
Within G70, choose G70.9 (Myoneural disorder, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: myasthenia gravis (G70.0), toxic myoneural disorders (G70.1), congenital and developmental myasthenia (G70.2) and other specified myoneural disorders (G70.8).
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 073 (Cranial and Peripheral Nerve Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.5779) and DRG 074 (Cranial and Peripheral Nerve Disorders without MCC, relative weight 1.0173), in MDC 01 (Diseases and Disorders of the Nervous 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.
