Which MS-DRGs does K08.0 group to?

  • underlying systemic condition

  • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)

  • neoplasms (C00-D49)
  • symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from K08

The conditions below are not part of K08.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, K08.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.

Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
