About coding sibling jealousy
The ICD-10-CM code for sibling jealousy is F93.8 (Other childhood emotional disorders).
Within F93, choose F93.8 (Other childhood emotional disorders) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: separation anxiety disorder of childhood (F93.0) and childhood emotional disorder, unspecified (F93.9).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of F93.8, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: gender identity disorder of childhood (F64.2).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
