About coding Gustatory sweating syndrome
The ICD-10-CM code for Gustatory sweating syndrome is G50.8 (Other disorders of trigeminal nerve).
Within G50, choose G50.8 (Other disorders of trigeminal nerve) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: trigeminal neuralgia (G50.0), atypical facial pain (G50.1) and disorder of trigeminal nerve, unspecified (G50.9).
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 073 (Cranial and Peripheral Nerve Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.5779) and DRG 074 (Cranial and Peripheral Nerve Disorders without MCC, relative weight 1.0173), in MDC 01 (Diseases and Disorders of the Nervous 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.
