About coding tumor associated pain
The ICD-10-CM code for tumor associated pain is G89.3 (Neoplasm related pain (acute) (chronic)).
Within G89 (pain, not elsewhere classified), G89.3 is specifically for neoplasm related pain (acute) (chronic). Related codes cover central pain syndrome (G89.0), acute pain, not elsewhere classified (G89.1), chronic pain, not elsewhere classified (G89.2) and chronic pain syndrome (G89.4).
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 947 (Signs and Symptoms with MCC, relative weight 1.261) and DRG 948 (Signs and Symptoms without MCC, relative weight 0.7835), 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.
