About coding visual object agnosia
The ICD-10-CM code for visual object agnosia is R48.3 (Visual agnosia).
Within R48 (dyslexia and other symbolic dysfunctions, not elsewhere classified), R48.3 is specifically for visual agnosia. Related codes cover dyslexia and alexia (R48.0), agnosia (R48.1), apraxia (R48.2), other symbolic dysfunctions (R48.8) and unspecified symbolic dysfunctions (R48.9).
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 124 (Other Disorders of the Eye with MCC or Thrombolytic Agent, relative weight 1.2471) and DRG 125 (Other Disorders of the Eye without MCC, relative weight 0.7702), in MDC 02 (Diseases and Disorders of the Eye), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
