About coding Subluxatable hip

The ICD-10-CM code for Subluxatable hip is Q65.6 (Congenital unstable hip).

Within Q65 (congenital deformities of hip), Q65.6 is specifically for congenital unstable hip. Related codes cover congenital dislocation of hip, unilateral (Q65.0), congenital dislocation of hip, bilateral (Q65.1), congenital dislocation of hip, unspecified (Q65.2), congenital partial dislocation of hip, unilateral (Q65.3), congenital partial dislocation of hip, bilateral (Q65.4), congenital partial dislocation of hip, unspecified (Q65.5), other congenital deformities of hip (Q65.8) and congenital deformity of hip, unspecified (Q65.9).

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 564 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 1.4908), DRG 565 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 0.9783) and DRG 566 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7378), in MDC 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
