About coding major neurocognitive disorder inhalant-induced

The ICD-10-CM code for major neurocognitive disorder inhalant-induced is F18.97 (Inhalant use, unspecified with inhalant-induced persisting dementia).

Within F18.9 (Inhalant use, unspecified), F18.97 is specifically for Inhalant use, unspecified with inhalant-induced persisting dementia. Related codes cover uncomplicated (F18.90), in remission (F18.91), with intoxication (F18.92), with inhalant-induced mood disorder (F18.94), with inhalant-induced psychotic disorder (F18.95), with other inhalant-induced disorders (F18.98) and with unspecified inhalant-induced disorder (F18.99).

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 894 (Alcohol, Drug Abuse or Dependence, Left AMA, relative weight 0.6275), DRG 895 (Alcohol, Drug Abuse or Dependence with Rehabilitation Therapy, relative weight 1.4266), DRG 896 (Alcohol, Drug Abuse or Dependence without Rehabilitation Therapy with MCC, relative weight 1.6617) and DRG 897 (Alcohol, Drug Abuse or Dependence without Rehabilitation Therapy without MCC, relative weight 0.8584), in MDC 20 (Alcohol/Drug Use and Alcohol/Drug Induced Organic Mental 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.
