About coding Neurotic rumination
The ICD-10-CM code for Neurotic rumination is F42.8 (Other obsessive-compulsive disorder).
Within F42, choose F42.8 (Other obsessive-compulsive disorder) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: mixed obsessional thoughts and acts (F42.2), Hoarding disorder (F42.3), Excoriation (skin-picking) disorder (F42.4) and unspecified (F42.9).
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 882 (Neuroses Except Depressive, relative weight 0.9952), 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.
