About coding bladder pain
The ICD-10-CM code for bladder pain is R39.89 (Other symptoms and signs involving the genitourinary system). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on R39.89.
Within R39.8, choose R39.89 (Other symptoms and signs involving the genitourinary system) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: functional urinary incontinence (R39.81), chronic bladder pain (R39.82), unilateral non-palpable testicle (R39.83), bilateral non-palpable testicles (R39.84) and Costovertebral (angle) tenderness (R39.85).
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 695 (Kidney and Urinary Tract Signs and Symptoms with MCC, relative weight 1.1139) and DRG 696 (Kidney and Urinary Tract Signs and Symptoms without MCC, relative weight 0.6679), in MDC 11 (Diseases and Disorders of the Kidney and Urinary Tract), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
