About coding rhinovirus infection NEC
The ICD-10-CM code for rhinovirus infection NEC is B34.8 (Other viral infections of unspecified site).
Within B34, choose B34.8 (Other viral infections of unspecified site) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: adenovirus infection, unspecified (B34.0), enterovirus infection, unspecified (B34.1), coronavirus infection, unspecified (B34.2), Parvovirus infection, unspecified (B34.3), Papovavirus infection, unspecified (B34.4) and viral infection, unspecified (B34.9).
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.
