About coding vas deferens stricture
The ICD-10-CM code for vas deferens stricture is N50.89 (Other specified disorders of the male genital organs). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on N50.89.
Within N50.8, choose N50.89 (Other specified disorders of the male genital organs) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: testicular pain (N50.81) and scrotal pain (N50.82).
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 729 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.0544) and DRG 730 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6597), in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male Reproductive 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.
