ICD-10 code for emergency postcoital contraception

The ICD-10-CM code for emergency postcoital contraception is Z30.012 (Encounter for prescription of emergency contraception).

Within Z30.01 (encounter for initial prescription of contraceptives), Z30.012 is specifically for encounter for prescription of emergency contraception. Related codes cover initial prescription of contraceptive pills (Z30.011), initial prescription of injectable contraceptive (Z30.013), initial prescription of intrauterine contraceptive device (Z30.014), initial prescription of vaginal ring hormonal contraceptive (Z30.015), initial prescription of transdermal patch hormonal contraceptive device (Z30.016), initial prescription of implantable subdermal contraceptive (Z30.017), initial prescription of other contraceptives (Z30.018) and unspecified (Z30.019).

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.
