About coding bladder sphincter dyssynergia
The ICD-10-CM code for bladder sphincter dyssynergia is N36.44 (Muscular disorders of urethra).
Within N36.4 (urethral functional and muscular disorders), N36.44 is specifically for muscular disorders of urethra. Related codes cover hypermobility of urethra (N36.41), intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD) (N36.42) and combined hypermobility of urethra and intrinsic sphincter deficiency (N36.43).
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 698 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 1.6398), DRG 699 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 1.0003) and DRG 700 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6741), 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.
