Patient EducationClinical

HIV

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. HIV harms your immune system by destroying a type of white blood cell that helps your body fight infection. This puts you at risk for other infections and diseases.

Questions About B20Overview

Is B20 (Human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

What MS-DRG does B20 group to?

When human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 969, 970, 974, 975, 976, 977, with relative weights from 0.8945 to 6.1213 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of B20?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease converts to ICD-9-CM 042 (human immuno virus dis). The mapping is a direct match.

Footnotes

[1] Chronic - a chronic condition code indicates a condition lasting 12 months or longer and its effect on the patient based on one or both of the following criteria:

  • The condition results in the need for ongoing intervention with medical products,treatment, services, and special equipment
  • The condition places limitations on self-care, independent living, and social interactions.
