About B08.61

B08.61 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Bovine stomatitis. It belongs to category B08 (other viral infections characterized by skin and mucous membrane lesions, not elsewhere classified), block B00-B09 (viral infections characterized by skin and mucous membrane lesions) and chapter 1 (certain infectious and parasitic diseases). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within B08.6 (parapoxvirus infections), B08.61 is specifically for Bovine stomatitis. Related codes cover parapoxvirus infection, unspecified (B08.60), Sealpox (B08.62) and other parapoxvirus infections (B08.69).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 865 (Viral Illness with MCC, relative weight 1.3485) and DRG 866 (Viral Illness without MCC, relative weight 0.8692), in MDC 18 (Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, Systemic or Unspecified Sites), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

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

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 059.11 (Bovine stomatitis).
