About coding procreation planning
The ICD-10-CM code for procreation planning is Z31.69 (Encounter for other general counseling and advice on procreation).
Within Z31.6, choose Z31.69 (Encounter for other general counseling and advice on procreation) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: procreative counseling and advice using natural family planning (Z31.61) and encounter for fertility preservation counseling (Z31.62).
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 951 (Other Factors Influencing Health Status, relative weight 0.5577), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
