About coding Painful ejaculation
The ICD-10-CM code for Painful ejaculation is N53.12 (Painful ejaculation).
Within N53.1 (ejaculatory dysfunction), N53.12 is specifically for Painful ejaculation. Related codes cover Retarded ejaculation (N53.11), Anejaculatory orgasm (N53.13), retrograde ejaculation (N53.14) and other ejaculatory dysfunction (N53.19).
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 729 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.0544) and DRG 730 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6597), in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male Reproductive 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.
