ICD-10 code for urethra valve

The ICD-10-CM code for urethra valve is Q64.2 (Congenital posterior urethral valves).

Within Q64 (other congenital malformations of urinary system), Q64.2 is specifically for congenital posterior urethral valves. Related codes cover epispadias (Q64.0), exstrophy of urinary bladder (Q64.1), other atresia and stenosis of urethra and bladder neck (Q64.3), malformation of urachus (Q64.4), congenital absence of bladder and urethra (Q64.5), congenital diverticulum of bladder (Q64.6), other and unspecified congenital malformations of bladder and urethra (Q64.7), other specified congenital malformations of urinary system (Q64.8) and 1 more.

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 698 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 1.6398), DRG 699 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 1.0003) and DRG 700 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6741), in MDC 11 (Diseases and Disorders of the Kidney and Urinary Tract), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
