About coding male pseudohermaphroditism
The ICD-10-CM code for male pseudohermaphroditism is Q56.1 (Male pseudohermaphroditism, not elsewhere classified). The official index lists 7 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on Q56.1.
Within Q56 (indeterminate sex and pseudohermaphroditism), Q56.1 is specifically for male pseudohermaphroditism, not elsewhere classified. Related codes cover Hermaphroditism, not elsewhere classified (Q56.0), female pseudohermaphroditism, not elsewhere classified (Q56.2), 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 729 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.0544) and DRG 730 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6597), in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male 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.
