About R06.7
R06.7 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Sneezing. It belongs to category R06 (abnormalities of breathing), block R00-R09 (symptoms and signs involving the circulatory and respiratory systems) and chapter 18 (symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Within R06 (abnormalities of breathing), R06.7 is specifically for Sneezing. Related codes cover dyspnea (R06.0), Stridor (R06.1), Wheezing (R06.2), periodic breathing (R06.3), Hyperventilation (R06.4), mouth breathing (R06.5), Hiccough (R06.6), other abnormalities of breathing (R06.8) and 1 more.
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 154 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 1.5921), DRG 155 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 0.9322) and DRG 156 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6659), in MDC 03 (Diseases and Disorders of the Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat), 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 784.99 (other symptoms involving head and neck).
