ICD-10 code for psychotic depression

The ICD-10-CM code for psychotic depression is F32.3 (Major depressive disorder, single episode, severe with psychotic features). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on F32.3.

Within F32 (depressive episode), F32.3 is specifically for major depressive disorder, single episode, severe with psychotic features. Related codes cover major depressive disorder, single episode, mild (F32.0), major depressive disorder, single episode, moderate (F32.1), major depressive disorder, single episode, severe without psychotic features (F32.2), major depressive disorder, single episode, in partial remission (F32.4), major depressive disorder, single episode, in full remission (F32.5), other depressive episodes (F32.8), major depressive disorder, single episode, unspecified (F32.9) and depression, unspecified (F32.A).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 885 (Psychoses, relative weight 1.3901), in MDC 19 (Mental Diseases and Disorders), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
