ICD-10 code for valgus pes

The ICD-10-CM code for valgus pes is Q66.6 (Other congenital valgus deformities of feet).

Within Q66, choose Q66.6 (Other congenital valgus deformities of feet) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: congenital talipes equinovarus (Q66.0), congenital talipes calcaneovarus (Q66.1), congenital metatarsus (primus) varus (Q66.2), other congenital varus deformities of feet (Q66.3), congenital talipes calcaneovalgus (Q66.4), congenital pes planus (Q66.5), congenital pes cavus (Q66.7), other congenital deformities of feet (Q66.8) and 1 more.

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 564 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 1.4908), DRG 565 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 0.9783) and DRG 566 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7378), in MDC 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
