About coding contraception planning
The ICD-10-CM code for contraception planning is Z30.9 (Encounter for contraceptive management, unspecified).
Within Z30, choose Z30.9 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: general counseling and advice on contraception (Z30.0), sterilization (Z30.2), surveillance of contraceptives (Z30.4) and other contraceptive management (Z30.8).
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 951 (Other Factors Influencing Health Status, relative weight 0.5577), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
