ICD-10 code for Pseudo-Cushing's syndrome

The ICD-10-CM code for Pseudo-Cushing's syndrome is E24.4 (Alcohol-induced pseudo-Cushing's syndrome).

Within E24 (Cushing's syndrome), E24.4 is specifically for alcohol-induced pseudo-Cushing's syndrome. Related codes cover Pituitary-dependent Cushing's disease (E24.0), Nelson's syndrome (E24.1), drug-induced Cushing's syndrome (E24.2), ectopic ACTH syndrome (E24.3), other Cushing's syndrome (E24.8) and unspecified (E24.9).

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 643 (Endocrine Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.6139), DRG 644 (Endocrine Disorders with CC, relative weight 1.0044) and DRG 645 (Endocrine Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7459), in MDC 10 (Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases and Disorders), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
