About coding rubella arthritis
The ICD-10-CM code for rubella arthritis is B06.82 (Rubella arthritis).
Within B06.8 (rubella with other complications), B06.82 is specifically for rubella arthritis. Related codes cover rubella pneumonia (B06.81) and other rubella complications (B06.89).
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 553 (Bone Diseases and Arthropathies with MCC, relative weight 1.2494), DRG 554 (Bone Diseases and Arthropathies without MCC, relative weight 0.8331), 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 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue) 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.
