ICD-10 code for yatapoxvirus

The ICD-10-CM code for yatapoxvirus is B08.70 (Yatapoxvirus infection, unspecified). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on B08.70.

Within B08.7, choose B08.70 (Yatapoxvirus infection, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Tanapox virus disease (B08.71), Yaba pox virus disease (B08.72) and other yatapoxvirus infections (B08.79).

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.
