About coding Paraspadias
The ICD-10-CM code for Paraspadias is Q54.9 (Hypospadias, unspecified).
Within Q54, choose Q54.9 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: balanic (Q54.0), penile (Q54.1), penoscrotal (Q54.2), perineal (Q54.3), congenital chordee (Q54.4) and other hypospadias (Q54.8).
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 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.
