About coding Triplegia
The ICD-10-CM code for Triplegia is G83.89 (Other specified paralytic syndromes). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on G83.89.
Within G83.8, choose G83.89 (Other specified paralytic syndromes) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Brown-Sequard syndrome (G83.81), anterior cord syndrome (G83.82), posterior cord syndrome (G83.83) and Todd's paralysis (postepileptic) (G83.84).
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 091 (Other Disorders of Nervous System with MCC, relative weight 1.7046), DRG 092 (Other Disorders of Nervous System with CC, relative weight 1.0239) and DRG 093 (Other Disorders of Nervous System without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7783), in MDC 01 (Diseases and Disorders of the Nervous 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.
