ICD-10 code for systemic candidiasis

The ICD-10-CM code for systemic candidiasis is B37.7 (Candidal sepsis).

Within B37 (candidiasis), B37.7 is specifically for Candidal sepsis. Related codes cover Candidal stomatitis (B37.0), pulmonary candidiasis (B37.1), of skin and nail (B37.2), of vulva and vagina (B37.3), of other urogenital sites (B37.4), Candidal meningitis (B37.5), Candidal endocarditis (B37.6), of other sites (B37.8) and 1 more.

As a secondary diagnosis it is an MCC (major complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the highest-paying "with MCC" 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 870 (Septicemia or Severe Sepsis with MV >96 Hours, relative weight 6.9408), DRG 871 (Septicemia or Severe Sepsis without MV >96 Hours with MCC, relative weight 1.932) and DRG 872 (Septicemia or Severe Sepsis without MV >96 Hours without MCC, relative weight 1.0066), 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.
