About coding PHTS

The ICD-10-CM code for PHTS is Q85.81 (PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome).

Within Q85.8 (other phakomatoses, not elsewhere classified), Q85.81 is specifically for PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome. Related codes cover other Cowden syndrome (Q85.82), von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (Q85.83) and other phakomatoses, not elsewhere classified (Q85.89).

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 826 (Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures with MCC, relative weight 4.7581), DRG 827 (Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures with CC, relative weight 2.3896), DRG 828 (Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.6955), DRG 829 (Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Other Procedures with CC/MCC, relative weight 3.1281), DRG 830 (Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Other Procedures without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.4859), DRG 843 (Other Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplastic Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 1.9453) and 2 more, in MDC 17 (Myeloproliferative Diseases and Disorders, Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
