The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Mumps with other complications

Non-specific codes like B26.8 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for mumps with other complications:

  • Use B26.81 for Mumps hepatitis - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use B26.82 for Mumps myocarditis - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use B26.83 for Mumps nephritis - BILLABLE CODE

Clinical Information

  • Measles-Mumps-Rubella Vaccine

    a combined vaccine used to prevent measles; mumps; and rubella.

  • Mumps

    an acute infectious disease caused by rubulavirus, spread by direct contact, airborne droplet nuclei, fomites contaminated by infectious saliva, and perhaps urine, and usually seen in children under the age of 15, although adults may also be affected. (from dorland, 28th ed)

  • Mumps Vaccine

    vaccines used to prevent infection by mumps virus. best known is the live attenuated virus vaccine of chick embryo origin, used for routine immunization of children and for immunization of adolescents and adults who have not had mumps or been immunized with live mumps vaccine. children are usually immunized with measles-mumps-rubella combination vaccine.

  • Mumps virus

    the type species of rubulavirus that causes an acute infectious disease in humans, affecting mainly children. transmission occurs by droplet infection.

  • Viral Fusion Proteins

    proteins, usually glycoproteins, found in the viral envelopes of a variety of viruses. they promote cell membrane fusion and thereby may function in the uptake of the virus by cells.

  • Rubulavirus

    a genus of the family paramyxoviridae (subfamily paramyxovirinae) where all the species have hemagglutinin and neuraminidase activities but lack a c protein. mumps virus is the type species.

Patient Education


Mumps

Mumps is an illness caused by the mumps virus. It starts with:

  • Fever
  • Headache
  • Muscle aches
  • Tiredness
  • Loss of appetite

After that, the salivary glands under the ears or jaw become swollen and tender. The swelling can be on one or both sides of the face. Symptoms last 7 to 10 days. Serious complications are rare.

You can catch mumps by being with another person who has it. There is no treatment for mumps, but the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine can prevent it.

Before the routine vaccination program in the United States, mumps was a common illness in infants, children and young adults. Now it is a rare disease in the U.S.
