About coding testis edema
The ICD-10-CM code for testis edema is N44.8 (Other noninflammatory disorders of the testis).
Within N44, choose N44.8 (Other noninflammatory disorders of the testis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: torsion of testis (N44.0), cyst of tunica albuginea testis (N44.1) and benign cyst of testis (N44.2).
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.
