Clinical Information

• Eunuchism

  the state of being a eunuch, a male without testes or whose testes failed to develop. it is characterized by the lack of mature male germ cells and testicular hormones.

• Hypogonadism

  condition resulting from deficient gonadal functions, such as gametogenesis and the production of gonadal steroid hormones. it is characterized by delay in growth, germ cell maturation, and development of secondary sex characteristics. hypogonadism can be due to a deficiency of gonadotropins (hypogonadotropic hypogonadism) or due to primary gonadal failure (hypergonadotropic hypogonadism).

• Kallmann Syndrome

  a genetically heterogeneous disorder caused by hypothalamic gnrh deficiency and olfactory nerve defects. it is characterized by congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia, possibly with additional midline defects. it can be transmitted as an x-linked (genetic diseases, x-linked), an autosomal dominant, or an autosomal recessive trait.

• Spinocerebellar Degenerations

  a heterogenous group of degenerative syndromes marked by progressive cerebellar dysfunction either in isolation or combined with other neurologic manifestations. sporadic and inherited subtypes occur. inheritance patterns include autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and x-linked.

• Prune Belly Syndrome

  a syndrome characterized by abdominal wall musculature deficiency, cryptorchism, and urinary tract abnormalities. the syndrome derives its name from its characteristic distended abdomen with wrinkled skin.

• Acquired Testicular Failure

  testicular failure, the cause of which is not present at birth.

Code Edits

The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-10-CM Code Edits are applicable to this code:

• Diagnoses for males only - The Medicare Code Editor detects inconsistencies between a patient’s sex and any diagnosis on the patient’s record, these edits apply to MALES only .

E29.1 is grouped with Diagnostic Related Groups - MS-DRG Mapping

Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) are a classification system used to group together diagnosis codes for the purpose of reimbursement and healthcare management. DRGs are used to standardize the way hospitals and other providers are paid for inpatient services. In this system patients are grouped together based on their principal diagnosis in areas referred to as Major Diagnostic Categories (MDC). Once a patient is assigned a particular diagnostic category, providers receive a predetermined payment rate for the services rendered. This reimbursement rate is often fixed and is meant to cover the cost of care for that patient. Reimbursement is also affected by the relative weight of a diagnostic related group based on the severity of a patient's illness and the associated cost of care during hospitalization.

Diagnostic related groups encourage healthcare providers to focus on quality and efficiency in patient care while managing costs effectively. The diagnosis code is present in the following groups for version MS-DRG V41.0 applicable from 10/01/2023 through 09/30/2024.

The relative weight of a diagnostic related group determines the reimbursement rate based on the severity of a patient's illness and the associated cost of care during hospitalization.

Patient Education

Testicular Disorders

Testicles, or testes, make male hormones and sperm. They are two egg-shaped organs inside the scrotum, the loose sac of skin behind the penis. It's easy to injure your testicles because they are not protected by bones or muscles. Men and boys should wear athletic supporters when they play sports.

You should examine your testicles monthly and seek medical attention for lumps, redness, pain or other changes. Testicles can get inflamed or infected. They can also develop cancer. Testicular cancer is rare and highly treatable. It usually happens between the ages of 15 and 40.
