About coding Pseudomenstruation
The ICD-10-CM code for Pseudomenstruation is P54.6 (Neonatal vaginal hemorrhage).
Within P54 (other neonatal hemorrhages), P54.6 is specifically for neonatal vaginal hemorrhage. Related codes cover neonatal hematemesis (P54.0), neonatal melena (P54.1), neonatal rectal hemorrhage (P54.2), other neonatal gastrointestinal hemorrhage (P54.3), neonatal adrenal hemorrhage (P54.4), neonatal cutaneous hemorrhage (P54.5), other specified neonatal hemorrhages (P54.8) and neonatal hemorrhage, unspecified (P54.9).
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 794 (Neonate with Other Significant Problems, relative weight 1.4935), in MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
