ICD-10 code for Microsporidiosis

The ICD-10-CM code for Microsporidiosis is B60.8 (Other specified protozoal diseases). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on B60.8.

Within B60, choose B60.8 (Other specified protozoal diseases) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: babesiosis (B60.0), Acanthamebiasis (B60.1) and Naegleriasis (B60.2).

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 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), DRG 869 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6787), DRG 974 (HIV with Major Related Condition with MCC, relative weight 3.0506), DRG 975 (HIV with Major Related Condition with CC, relative weight 1.3252) and DRG 976 (HIV with Major Related Condition without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.8124), in MDC 18 (Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, Systemic or Unspecified Sites) 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.
