About B06.8

B06.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for rubella with other 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within B06, choose B06.8 (with other complications) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: with neurological complications (B06.0) and without complication (B06.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: B06.81 (pneumonia), B06.82 (arthritis) and B06.89 (complications).

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