About B06

B06 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for rubella [German measles]. It belongs to block B00-B09 (viral infections characterized by skin and mucous membrane lesions) and chapter 1 (certain infectious and parasitic diseases). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: B06.0 (complications), B06.8 (complications) and B06.9 (complication).

Don't report B06 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: congenital rubella (P35.0).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
