About coding scrotum transposition
The ICD-10-CM code for scrotum transposition is Q55.23 (Scrotal transposition).
Within Q55.2 (other and unspecified congenital malformations of testis and scrotum), Q55.23 is specifically for scrotal transposition. Related codes cover unspecified congenital malformations of testis and scrotum (Q55.20), Polyorchism (Q55.21), Retractile testis (Q55.22) and other congenital malformations of testis and scrotum (Q55.29).
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 729 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.0544) and DRG 730 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6597), in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male Reproductive 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.
