ICD-10 code for phimosis

The ICD-10-CM code for phimosis is N47.1 (Phimosis). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on N47.1.

Within N47 (disorders of prepuce), N47.1 is specifically for phimosis. Related codes cover adherent prepuce, newborn (N47.0), Paraphimosis (N47.2), Deficient foreskin (N47.3), benign cyst of prepuce (N47.4), adhesions of prepuce and glans penis (N47.5), Balanoposthitis (N47.6), other inflammatory diseases of prepuce (N47.7) and other disorders of prepuce (N47.8).

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 727 (Inflammation of the Male Reproductive System with MCC, relative weight 1.37), DRG 728 (Inflammation of the Male Reproductive System without MCC, relative weight 0.8224) and DRG 795 (Normal Newborn, relative weight 0.2022), in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male Reproductive System) 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.
