About coding Promiscuity counseling
The ICD-10-CM code for Promiscuity counseling is Z70.1 (Counseling related to patient's sexual behavior and orientation).
Within Z70 (counseling related to sexual attitude, behavior and orientation), Z70.1 is specifically for counseling related to patient's sexual behavior and orientation. Related codes cover counseling related to sexual attitude (Z70.0), counseling related to sexual behavior and orientation of third party (Z70.2), counseling related to combined concerns regarding sexual attitude, behavior and orientation (Z70.3), other sex counseling (Z70.8) and sex counseling, unspecified (Z70.9).
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 951 (Other Factors Influencing Health Status, relative weight 0.5577), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
