About coding psychogenic torticollis
The ICD-10-CM code for psychogenic torticollis is F45.8 (Other somatoform disorders). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on F45.8.
Within F45, choose F45.8 (Other somatoform disorders) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Somatization disorder (F45.0), Undifferentiated somatoform disorder (F45.1), hypochondriacal disorders (F45.2), pain disorders related to psychological factors (F45.4) and somatoform disorder, unspecified (F45.9).
Don't report F45.8 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: sleep related teeth grinding (G47.63).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
