About coding procreative management
The ICD-10-CM code for procreative management is Z31.9 (Encounter for procreative management, unspecified). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on Z31.9.
Within Z31, choose Z31.9 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: reversal of previous sterilization (Z31.0), procreative investigation and testing (Z31.4), procreative genetic counseling (Z31.5), general counseling and advice on procreation (Z31.6), and counseling for gestational carrier (Z31.7) and other procreative management (Z31.8).
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 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.
