About coding stomatitis herpes
The ICD-10-CM code for stomatitis herpes is B00.2 (Herpesviral gingivostomatitis and pharyngotonsillitis).
Within B00 (herpesviral [herpes simplex] infections), B00.2 is specifically for herpesviral gingivostomatitis and pharyngotonsillitis. Related codes cover eczema herpeticum (B00.0), herpesviral vesicular dermatitis (B00.1), herpesviral meningitis (B00.3), herpesviral encephalitis (B00.4), herpesviral ocular disease (B00.5), disseminated herpesviral disease (B00.7), other forms of herpesviral infections (B00.8) and herpesviral infection, unspecified (B00.9).
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 011 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with MCC, relative weight 5.6154), DRG 012 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with CC, relative weight 4.381), DRG 013 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy without CC/MCC, relative weight 2.7307), DRG 157 (Dental and Oral Diseases with MCC, relative weight 1.809), DRG 158 (Dental and Oral Diseases with CC, relative weight 0.9366), DRG 159 (Dental and Oral Diseases without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6893) and 5 more, in Pre-MDC, MDC 03 (Diseases and Disorders of the Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat), MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period) and 1 more, as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
