About coding Pinhole meatus
The ICD-10-CM code for Pinhole meatus is N35.919 (Unspecified urethral stricture, male, unspecified site).
Within N35.91, choose N35.919 (urethral stricture, male, unspecified site) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: urethral stricture, male, meatal (N35.911), bulbous urethral stricture, male (N35.912), membranous urethral stricture, male (N35.913), anterior urethral stricture, male (N35.914) and urethral stricture, male, overlapping sites (N35.916).
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 697 (Urethral Stricture, relative weight 0.97), in MDC 11 (Diseases and Disorders of the Kidney and Urinary Tract), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
