About coding Vasectomy status
The ICD-10-CM code for Vasectomy status is Z98.52 (Vasectomy status).
Within Z98.5 (sterilization status), Z98.52 is specifically for Vasectomy status. Related codes cover tubal ligation status (Z98.51).
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 951 (Other Factors Influencing Health Status, relative weight 0.5577), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
