About coding idiopathic hypoparathyroidism
The ICD-10-CM code for idiopathic hypoparathyroidism is E20.0 (Idiopathic hypoparathyroidism).
Within E20 (hypoparathyroidism), E20.0 is specifically for idiopathic hypoparathyroidism. Related codes cover Pseudohypoparathyroidism (E20.1), other hypoparathyroidism (E20.8) and unspecified (E20.9).
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 643 (Endocrine Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.6139), DRG 644 (Endocrine Disorders with CC, relative weight 1.0044), DRG 645 (Endocrine Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7459), DRG 791 (Prematurity with Major Problems, relative weight 4.1075) and DRG 793 (Full Term Neonate with Major Problems, relative weight 4.2195), in MDC 10 (Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases and Disorders) and MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
