About coding Visuospatial deficit
The ICD-10-CM code for Visuospatial deficit is R41.842 (Visuospatial deficit). The official index lists 6 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on R41.842.
Within R41.84 (other specified cognitive deficit), R41.842 is specifically for Visuospatial deficit. Related codes cover attention and concentration deficit (R41.840), cognitive communication deficit (R41.841), psychomotor deficit (R41.843) and frontal lobe and executive function deficit (R41.844).
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 091 (Other Disorders of Nervous System with MCC, relative weight 1.7046), DRG 092 (Other Disorders of Nervous System with CC, relative weight 1.0239) and DRG 093 (Other Disorders of Nervous System without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7783), in MDC 01 (Diseases and Disorders of the Nervous 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.
