About coding female pseudohermaphroditism
The ICD-10-CM code for female pseudohermaphroditism is Q56.2 (Female pseudohermaphroditism, not elsewhere classified). The official index lists 3 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on Q56.2.
Within Q56 (indeterminate sex and pseudohermaphroditism), Q56.2 is specifically for female pseudohermaphroditism, not elsewhere classified. Related codes cover Hermaphroditism, not elsewhere classified (Q56.0), male pseudohermaphroditism, not elsewhere classified (Q56.1), pseudohermaphroditism, unspecified (Q56.3) and indeterminate sex, unspecified (Q56.4).
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 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.8456), DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.2974), DRG 760 (Menstrual and Other Female Reproductive System Disorders with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.0129) and DRG 761 (Menstrual and Other Female Reproductive System Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7041), in MDC 13 (Diseases and Disorders of the Female Reproductive 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.
