About coding Sneezing
The ICD-10-CM code for Sneezing is R06.7 (Sneezing).
Within R06 (abnormalities of breathing), R06.7 is specifically for Sneezing. Related codes cover dyspnea (R06.0), Stridor (R06.1), Wheezing (R06.2), periodic breathing (R06.3), Hyperventilation (R06.4), mouth breathing (R06.5), Hiccough (R06.6), other abnormalities of breathing (R06.8) and 1 more.
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 154 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 1.5921), DRG 155 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 0.9322) and DRG 156 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6659), in MDC 03 (Diseases and Disorders of the Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
