About coding Aphagia
The ICD-10-CM code for Aphagia is R13.0 (Aphagia). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on R13.0.
Within R13 (Aphagia and dysphagia), R13.0 is specifically for Aphagia. Related codes cover dysphagia (R13.1).
Don't report R13.0 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: psychogenic aphagia (F50.9).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for R13.0)
