B60.09Other babesiosis

B60.09 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other babesiosis. It belongs to category B60 (other protozoal diseases, not elsewhere classified), 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 B60.0, choose B60.09 (Other babesiosis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified (B60.00), due to Babesia microti (B60.01), due to Babesia duncani (B60.02) and due to Babesia divergens (B60.03).

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 867 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 2.1859), DRG 868 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 1.0235) and DRG 869 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6787), 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 was added in FY2021, effective October 1, 2020.
