About B58.2

B58.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for toxoplasma meningoencephalitis. It belongs to category B58 (toxoplasmosis), block B50-B64 (protozoal 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 B58 (toxoplasmosis), B58.2 is specifically for toxoplasma meningoencephalitis. Related codes cover toxoplasma oculopathy (B58.0), toxoplasma hepatitis (B58.1), pulmonary toxoplasmosis (B58.3), with other organ involvement (B58.8) and unspecified (B58.9).

As a secondary diagnosis it is an MCC (major complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the highest-paying "with MCC" 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 023 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis with MCC or Antineoplastic Implant or Epilepsy with Neurostimulator, relative weight 5.7444), DRG 024 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis without MCC, relative weight 3.9708), DRG 097 (Non-Bacterial Infection of Nervous System Except Viral Meningitis with MCC, relative weight 3.8226), DRG 098 (Non-Bacterial Infection of Nervous System Except Viral Meningitis with CC, relative weight 2.2706), DRG 099 (Non-Bacterial Infection of Nervous System Except Viral Meningitis without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.5256), DRG 791 (Prematurity with Major Problems, relative weight 4.1075) and 4 more, in MDC 01 (Diseases and Disorders of the Nervous System), MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period) and MDC 25 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infections), 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 130.0 (meningoencephalitis due to toxoplasmosis).
