About B26.3
B26.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for mumps pancreatitis. It belongs to category B26 (mumps), block B25-B34 (other viral diseases) 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 B26 (mumps), B26.3 is specifically for mumps pancreatitis. Related codes cover orchitis (B26.0), meningitis (B26.1), encephalitis (B26.2), with other complications (B26.8) and without complication (B26.9).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 438 (Disorders of Pancreas Except Malignancy with MCC, relative weight 1.5765), DRG 439 (Disorders of Pancreas Except Malignancy with CC, relative weight 0.8402), DRG 440 (Disorders of Pancreas Except Malignancy without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.5965), DRG 791 (Prematurity with Major Problems, relative weight 4.1075) and DRG 793 (Full Term Neonate with Major Problems, relative weight 4.2195), in MDC 07 (Diseases and Disorders of the Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas) and MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period), 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 072.3 (mumps pancreatitis).
