Inpatient Payment Groups (MS-DRG)

Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.

MS-DRGs this diagnosis helps define, as principal or secondary, per the CMS ICD-10-CM/PCS MS-DRG Definitions Manual v44, Appendix B.

  • MS-DRG 391 — ESOPHAGITIS, GASTROENTERITIS AND MISCELLANEOUS DIGESTIVE DISORDERS WITH MCC (MDC 06)
  • MS-DRG 392 — ESOPHAGITIS, GASTROENTERITIS AND MISCELLANEOUS DIGESTIVE DISORDERS WITHOUT MCC (MDC 06)

A diagnosis appearing in a group's logic does not by itself determine the DRG assigned to a stay; the grouper uses the full claim.

Excludes1 — Not Coded Here

Conditions generally not reported together with this code (Excludes1) -- an error unless the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).

Excludes2 — Not Included Here

Conditions not covered by this code, but which may be reported alongside it when both are present.

Coder workflow for E74.31

MedCoder structured workflow — derived from this code’s own official record

Before you code E74.31

  1. Check the Excludes1 note: if the documentation supports a condition named there, do not simply proceed with E74.31. Excludes1 conditions are not reported together with this code unless the record shows they are unrelated (Guidelines I.A.12.a).

    See the official tabular notes

Choose the right path

  1. Does the documentation support a condition named in E74.31’s Excludes1 note?
    Yes → Do not simply proceed: review the excluded code. Both are reported only when the record shows the two conditions are unrelated.
    No → Continue.

    ReviewE16.2, E16.3, E34.5, E25.0, D55, Q87.4

Consider E74.31. Then confirm the code is valid for the date of service in the Verify section.

Documentation check

The provider’s diagnostic statement
Codes are assigned from the provider’s documented diagnosis, not from clinical criteria, test values or a medication list (Guidelines I.A.19).

Official instructions as workflow

  • Excludes1 — check before selecting E74.31(9 notes)

    Coding workflow: If the documentation supports a condition named in this note, do not simply proceed with E74.31: the two are not reported together. The one exception is when the record shows the two conditions are unrelated to each other.

    CompareE16.2, E16.3, E34.5, E25.0, D55, Q87.4

    See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.12.a

  • Excludes2 — not part of E74.31(2 notes)

    Coding workflow: The conditions named in this note are not included in E74.31. When the record documents both, both may be reported; the note is a boundary, not a prohibition.

    CompareE73, Q79.6

    See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.12.b

Coding decision scenarios

Pattern scenarios for this code’s structure — decision rules, not clinical cases

Documentation: Both the condition E74.31 describes and a condition named in its Excludes1 note are documented for the same encounter.

Coding question: Can both codes be reported?

Path: Review the Excludes1 note and the excluded code, and look for a provider statement on whether the two conditions are related.

Reason: Excludes1 means the two are not coded together; the exception is when the record shows the conditions are unrelated to each other (Guidelines I.A.12.a).

ReviewE16.2, E16.3, E34.5, E25.0, D55, Q87.4

Every row is derived from this code’s own record — its title, tabular notes, 7th-character family and same-category siblings — with fixed MedCoder wording; nothing is inferred about a patient. The official notes and guideline text are in the sections each row links to, and they control.

MedCoder analysis — pairs from this code’s official notes, distinctions written by MedCoder

The codes most likely to be picked instead of E74.31 — named in its own official notes, or sharing its laterality or encounter family — with what separates them and which documentation moves the case. Each links to the full comparison.

Relationships are read from this code's own official notes, its laterality siblings and its encounter family; the wording of each distinction is MedCoder editorial, and the documentation named in each “what moves you there” line is the official note phrase or sibling title itself.

Relationships & Classification

MedCoder-derived relationships — computed from published CMS and AHRQ datasets

Other codes that name E74.31 or its code family, from the CMS ICD-10-CM tabular instructional notes. Tabular-note edges are stored at the code family level that carries each note.

Referenced by 6 Excludes1 notes across 2 chapters: P59 — Neonatal jaundice from other and unspecified causes (via E74.-), R79 — Other abnormal findings of blood chemistry (via E74.-), R80 — Proteinuria (via E74.-), R80-R82 — Abnormal findings on examination of urine, without diagnosis (R80-R82) (via E74.-), R81 — Glycosuria (via E74.-), R82 — Other and unspecified abnormal findings in urine (via E74.-).

These codes’ tabular lists mark this diagnosis as mutually exclusive — not reported together unless the conditions are documented as unrelated.

Referenced by 4 Excludes2 notes across 2 chapters: G11 — Hereditary ataxia (via E74.-), G71 — Primary disorders of muscles (via E74.-), N25.0 — Renal osteodystrophy (via E74.-), N25.81 — Secondary hyperparathyroidism of renal origin (via E74.-).

These codes’ tabular lists name this diagnosis as distinct — both may be reported when both are documented.

Referenced by 2 Code First instructions across 2 chapters: G63 — Polyneuropathy in diseases classified elsewhere (via E74.-), H42 — Glaucoma in diseases classified elsewhere (via E74.-).

Each of these codes carries a Code First note naming this condition — when that code is reported, THIS code is sequenced first, ahead of it.

MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2027)

Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.

FY2027 MS-DRG: not on the CMS CC/MCC list — as a secondary diagnosis this code does not change MS-DRG severity for that release.

Named in the grouper logic of 2 MS-DRGs: DRG 391 (MDC 06), DRG 392 (MDC 06).

From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual (Appendices B and C). Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
