About coding urine urinary incontinence
The ICD-10-CM code for urine urinary incontinence is R32 (Unspecified urinary incontinence). The official index lists 18 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on R32.
Don't report R32 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: functional urinary incontinence (R39.81), nonorganic enuresis (F98.0), stress incontinence and other specified urinary incontinence (N39.3-N39.4-) and urinary incontinence associated with cognitive impairment (R39.81).
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 695 (Kidney and Urinary Tract Signs and Symptoms with MCC, relative weight 1.1139) and DRG 696 (Kidney and Urinary Tract Signs and Symptoms without MCC, relative weight 0.6679), in MDC 11 (Diseases and Disorders of the Kidney and Urinary Tract), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
