About coding pituitary gland congenital absence
The ICD-10-CM code for pituitary gland congenital absence is Q89.2 (Congenital malformations of other endocrine glands). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on Q89.2.
Within Q89, choose Q89.2 (Congenital malformations of other endocrine glands) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: congenital absence and malformations of spleen (Q89.0), congenital malformations of adrenal gland (Q89.1), Situs inversus (Q89.3), conjoined twins (Q89.4), multiple congenital malformations, not elsewhere classified (Q89.7), other specified congenital malformations (Q89.8) and congenital malformation, unspecified (Q89.9).
Don't report Q89.2 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: congenital goiter (E03.0) and congenital hypothyroidism (E03.1).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
