2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code R76.0Raised antibody titer
ICD-10-CM Codes›R00–R99›R70-R79›R76
- Billable — Valid for Submission
- Not Chronic
R76.0 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for raised antibody titer. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2026 (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026) and groups to MS-DRG 814 through 816. As a symptom code, it should not be used as a principal diagnosis once a related definitive diagnosis has been established. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Abnormal findings without diagnosis.

Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Questions About R76.0Overview
Is R76.0 (Other abnormal immunological findings in serum) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report raised antibody titer on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
What MS-DRG does R76.0 group to?
When raised antibody titer is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 814, 815, 816, with relative weights from 0.6320 to 2.1267 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Can R76.0 be a principal diagnosis?
Use it with care. This is a symptom code, so once a definitive diagnosis explaining the raised antibody titer is established, that condition takes the principal position instead.
What is the ICD-9 equivalent of R76.0?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, raised antibody titer converts to ICD-9-CM 795.79 (oth unspcf nspf imun fnd). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.
Footnotes
[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
