About coding optic papilla inversion
The ICD-10-CM code for optic papilla inversion is Q14.2 (Congenital malformation of optic disc).
Within Q14 (congenital malformations of posterior segment of eye), Q14.2 is specifically for congenital malformation of optic disc. Related codes cover congenital malformation of vitreous humor (Q14.0), congenital malformation of retina (Q14.1), congenital malformation of choroid (Q14.3), other congenital malformations of posterior segment of eye (Q14.8) and congenital malformation of posterior segment of eye, unspecified (Q14.9).
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 124 (Other Disorders of the Eye with MCC or Thrombolytic Agent, relative weight 1.2471) and DRG 125 (Other Disorders of the Eye without MCC, relative weight 0.7702), in MDC 02 (Diseases and Disorders of the Eye), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
