About coding Synorchidism
The ICD-10-CM code for Synorchidism is Q55.1 (Hypoplasia of testis and scrotum).
Within Q55 (other congenital malformations of male genital organs), Q55.1 is specifically for hypoplasia of testis and scrotum. Related codes cover absence and aplasia of testis (Q55.0), other and unspecified congenital malformations of testis and scrotum (Q55.2), atresia of vas deferens (Q55.3), other congenital malformations of vas deferens, epididymis, seminal vesicles and prostate (Q55.4), congenital absence and aplasia of penis (Q55.5), other congenital malformations of penis (Q55.6), congenital vasocutaneous fistula (Q55.7), other specified congenital malformations of male genital organs (Q55.8) 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 729 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.0544) and DRG 730 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6597), in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male Reproductive System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
