About coding papillomavirus
The ICD-10-CM code for papillomavirus is B97.7 (Papillomavirus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere).
Within B97 (viral agents as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere), B97.7 is specifically for papillomavirus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. Related codes cover adenovirus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere (B97.0), enterovirus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere (B97.1), coronavirus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere (B97.2), retrovirus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere (B97.3), respiratory syncytial virus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere (B97.4), Reovirus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere (B97.5), Parvovirus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere (B97.6) and other viral agents as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere (B97.8).
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 865 (Viral Illness with MCC, relative weight 1.3485) and DRG 866 (Viral Illness without MCC, relative weight 0.8692), 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.
