Which MS-DRGs does F33.8 group to?

F33.8 sits in MDC 19 and helps define the logic of 1 MS-DRG (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.

Inclusion terms

Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to F33.8.

  • Recurrent brief depressive episodes

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from F33

The conditions below can never be reported together with F33.8 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 5

The conditions below are not part of F33.8, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, F33.8 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R99)

How long has F33.8 existed?

F33.8 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
