About coding tyrosinemia
The ICD-10-CM code for tyrosinemia is E70.21 (Tyrosinemia). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on E70.21.
Within E70.2 (disorders of tyrosine metabolism), E70.21 is specifically for tyrosinemia. Related codes cover disorder of tyrosine metabolism, unspecified (E70.20) and other disorders of tyrosine metabolism (E70.29).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 642 (Inborn and Other Disorders of Metabolism, relative weight 1.3219), in MDC 10 (Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases and Disorders), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
