ICD-10 code for Postmeasles keratitis

The ICD-10-CM code for Postmeasles keratitis is B05.81 (Measles keratitis and keratoconjunctivitis).

Within B05.8 (measles with other complications), B05.81 is specifically for measles keratitis and keratoconjunctivitis. Related codes cover other measles complications (B05.89).

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 124 (Other Disorders of the Eye with MCC or Thrombolytic Agent, relative weight 1.2471), DRG 125 (Other Disorders of the Eye without MCC, relative weight 0.7702), 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 02 (Diseases and Disorders of the Eye) and 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.
