S37.69XS ICD-10-CM Code: Other injury of uterus, sequela
Billing Status: YES. This is a valid, specific, and billable ICD-10-CM reference.
Inpatient Payment Groups (MS-DRG)
MS-DRGs this diagnosis helps define, as principal or secondary, per the CMS ICD-10-CM/PCS MS-DRG Definitions Manual v43.0, Appendix B.
- MS-DRG 742 — UTERINE AND ADNEXA PROCEDURES FOR NON-MALIGNANCY WITH CC/MCC (MDC 13)
- MS-DRG 743 — UTERINE AND ADNEXA PROCEDURES FOR NON-MALIGNANCY WITHOUT CC/MCC (MDC 13)
- MS-DRG 760 — MENSTRUAL AND OTHER FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM DISORDERS WITH CC/MCC (MDC 13)
- MS-DRG 761 — MENSTRUAL AND OTHER FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM DISORDERS WITHOUT CC/MCC (MDC 13)
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.
