About coding spectacles presence
The ICD-10-CM code for spectacles presence is Z97.3 (Presence of spectacles and contact lenses).
Within Z97 (presence of other devices), Z97.3 is specifically for presence of spectacles and contact lenses. Related codes cover artificial eye (Z97.0), artificial limb (complete) (partial) (Z97.1), dental prosthetic device (complete) (partial) (Z97.2), external hearing-aid (Z97.4), (intrauterine) contraceptive device (Z97.5) and other specified devices (Z97.8).
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 951 (Other Factors Influencing Health Status, relative weight 0.5577), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
