About coding duodenum irritable
The ICD-10-CM code for duodenum irritable is K59.89 (Other specified functional intestinal disorders).
Within K59.8, choose K59.89 (Other specified functional intestinal disorders) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Ogilvie syndrome (K59.81).
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 391 (Esophagitis, Gastroenteritis and Miscellaneous Digestive Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.2392) and DRG 392 (Esophagitis, Gastroenteritis and Miscellaneous Digestive Disorders without MCC, relative weight 0.7645), in MDC 06 (Diseases and Disorders of the Digestive System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
