Sequencing Suicide Attempt with Bipolar Disorder

I am looking for guidance surrounding MS-DRG assignment when a patient is admitted to an acute inpatient hospital for the suicide attempt and then transferred to acute behavioral health. I can’t find coding clinics nor Excludes 1 or 2 notes that directs you to code the Bipolar disorder first instead of the Poisoning. Our UR department is stating that in order to get paid the Bipolar disorder needs to be principle diagnosis.

Thoughts?

Thank you,
Joanne
