About coding scrotum herpes
The ICD-10-CM code for scrotum herpes is A60.02 (Herpesviral infection of other male genital organs).
Within A60.0, choose A60.02 (infection of other male genital organs) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: infection of urogenital system, unspecified (A60.00), infection of penis (A60.01), cervicitis (A60.03), vulvovaginitis (A60.04) and infection of other urogenital tract (A60.09).
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 727 (Inflammation of the Male Reproductive System with MCC, relative weight 1.37) and DRG 728 (Inflammation of the Male Reproductive System without MCC, relative weight 0.8224), in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male Reproductive System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
