About coding Yaba pox
The ICD-10-CM code for Yaba pox is B08.72 (Yaba pox virus disease).
Within B08.7 (yatapoxvirus infections), B08.72 is specifically for Yaba pox virus disease. Related codes cover yatapoxvirus infection, unspecified (B08.70), Tanapox virus disease (B08.71) 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.
