ICD-10 code for congenital rubella

The ICD-10-CM code for congenital rubella is P35.0 (Congenital rubella syndrome).

Within P35 (congenital viral diseases), P35.0 is specifically for congenital rubella syndrome. Related codes cover congenital cytomegalovirus infection (P35.1), congenital herpesviral [herpes simplex] infection (P35.2), congenital viral hepatitis (P35.3), congenital Zika virus disease (P35.4), other congenital viral diseases (P35.8) and congenital viral disease, unspecified (P35.9).

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 791 (Prematurity with Major Problems, relative weight 4.1075) and DRG 793 (Full Term Neonate with Major Problems, relative weight 4.2195), in 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.
