About coding penis cleft
The ICD-10-CM code for penis cleft is Q55.69 (Other congenital malformation of penis).
Within Q55.6, choose Q55.69 (Other congenital malformation of penis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: curvature of penis (lateral) (Q55.61), hypoplasia of penis (Q55.62), congenital torsion of penis (Q55.63) and Hidden penis (Q55.64).
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.
