About coding tachycardia neonatal
The ICD-10-CM code for tachycardia neonatal is P29.11 (Neonatal tachycardia).
Within P29.1 (neonatal cardiac dysrhythmia), P29.11 is specifically for neonatal tachycardia. Related codes cover bradycardia (P29.12).
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 794 (Neonate with Other Significant Problems, relative weight 1.4935), in MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
