About coding Hypervalinemia
The ICD-10-CM code for Hypervalinemia is E71.19 (Other disorders of branched-chain amino-acid metabolism).
Within E71.1, choose E71.19 (Other disorders of branched-chain amino-acid metabolism) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: branched-chain organic acidurias (E71.11) and disorders of propionate metabolism (E71.12).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 642 (Inborn and Other Disorders of Metabolism, relative weight 1.3219), in MDC 10 (Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases and Disorders), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
