D81.7 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for major histocompatibility complex class II deficiency. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 808 through 810. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 44 closely related codes. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Immunity disorders.
For Medicare Advantage risk adjustment, D81.7 maps to CMS-HCC Category 114 (Common Variable and Combined Immunodeficiencies) under the V28 model, adding a risk factor of about 2.262 for a community, non-dual, aged beneficiary in payment year 2027.

Questions About D81.7Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for major histocompatibility complex class II deficiency?
The ICD-10-CM code for major histocompatibility complex class II deficiency is D81.7 (sometimes written as D817). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is D81.7 (Combined immunodeficiencies) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report major histocompatibility complex class II deficiency on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does D81.7 group to?
When major histocompatibility complex class II deficiency is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 808, 809, 810, with relative weights from 1.0749 to 2.1706 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is D81.7 a CC or MCC?
CMS lists D81.7 as a CC (complication or comorbidity) for FY 2027. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it moves the inpatient stay to a higher-weighted DRG within its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 44 closely related codes in its exclusion list.
Can D81.7 be reported with D80.0?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at D81, which applies to D81.7, lists "autosomal recessive agammaglobulinemia (Swiss type) (D80.0)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
What HCC is D81.7?
D81.7 (major histocompatibility complex class II deficiency) maps to CMS-HCC Category 114 (Common Variable and Combined Immunodeficiencies), commonly written as HCC 114, in the CMS-HCC V28 model used for Medicare Advantage risk adjustment in payment year 2027. It mapped to HCC 47 under the retired V24 model. It also maps in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22), ESRD (V21), and ESRD (V24) models. In the Part D prescription drug model it maps to RxHCC 99.
Does D81.7 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?
Yes. When documented and reported on a Medicare Advantage encounter, D81.7 adds a risk adjustment factor of about 2.262 to the beneficiary's RAF score for a community, non-dual, aged enrollee (published V28 weights range from 0.691 to 2.789 depending on the payment segment). HCC 114 sits at the top of its hierarchy, so no other condition category supersedes it. See the full factor table on the HCC 114 category page.
