About coding Preorgasmic headache
The ICD-10-CM code for Preorgasmic headache is G44.82 (Headache associated with sexual activity).
Within G44.8 (other specified headache syndromes), G44.82 is specifically for headache associated with sexual activity. Related codes cover Hypnic headache (G44.81), primary cough headache (G44.83), primary exertional headache (G44.84), primary stabbing headache (G44.85), Cervicogenic headache (G44.86) and other headache syndrome (G44.89).
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 102 (Headaches with MCC, relative weight 1.1201) and DRG 103 (Headaches without MCC, relative weight 0.822), in MDC 01 (Diseases and Disorders of the Nervous 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.
