About coding Viscus rupture
The ICD-10-CM code for Viscus rupture is R19.8 (Other specified symptoms and signs involving the digestive system and abdomen).
Within R19, choose R19.8 (Other specified symptoms and signs involving the digestive system and abdomen) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: intra-abdominal and pelvic swelling, mass and lump (R19.0), abnormal bowel sounds (R19.1), visible peristalsis (R19.2), abdominal rigidity (R19.3), change in bowel habit (R19.4), other fecal abnormalities (R19.5), Halitosis (R19.6) and diarrhea, unspecified (R19.7).
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 391 (Esophagitis, Gastroenteritis and Miscellaneous Digestive Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.2392) and DRG 392 (Esophagitis, Gastroenteritis and Miscellaneous Digestive Disorders without MCC, relative weight 0.7645), in MDC 06 (Diseases and Disorders of the Digestive 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.
