About B06.0

B06.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for rubella with neurological complications. It belongs to category B06 (rubella [German measles]), 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within B06 (rubella [German measles]), B06.0 is specifically for rubella with neurological complications. Related codes cover with other complications (B06.8) and without complication (B06.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: B06.00 (unspecified), B06.01 (encephalitis), B06.02 (meningitis) and B06.09 (rubella).

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