About coding unwanted pregnancy problem
The ICD-10-CM code for unwanted pregnancy problem is Z64.0 (Problems related to unwanted pregnancy).
Within Z64 (problems related to certain psychosocial circumstances), Z64.0 is specifically for problems related to unwanted pregnancy. Related codes cover problems related to multiparity (Z64.1) and discord with counselors (Z64.4).
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 770 (Abortion with D&C, Aspiration Curettage or Hysterotomy, relative weight 1.0992) and DRG 779 (Abortion without D&C, relative weight 1.0203), in MDC 14 (Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Puerperium), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
