About coding osteoporosis screening
The ICD-10-CM code for osteoporosis screening is Z13.820 (Encounter for screening for osteoporosis).
Within Z13.82 (encounter for screening for musculoskeletal disorder), Z13.820 is specifically for encounter for screening for osteoporosis. Related codes cover other musculoskeletal disorder (Z13.828).
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 951 (Other Factors Influencing Health Status, relative weight 0.5577), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
