About coding Sideropenic dysphagia
The ICD-10-CM code for Sideropenic dysphagia is D50.1 (Sideropenic dysphagia).
Within D50 (iron deficiency anemia), D50.1 is specifically for Sideropenic dysphagia. Related codes cover secondary to blood loss (chronic) (D50.0), other iron deficiency anemias (D50.8) and unspecified (D50.9).
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 811 (Red Blood Cell Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.3988) and DRG 812 (Red Blood Cell Disorders without MCC, relative weight 0.9234), in MDC 16 (Diseases and Disorders of the Blood and Blood Forming Organs and Immunological 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.
