ICD-10 Code B06.0 – Rubella with neurological complications (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B06.0 – Rubella with neurological complications
What it is
B06.0 identifies rubella infection when it is accompanied by neurologic involvement. Use it for cases where the viral illness is documented together with a nervous system complication.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Neurologic complications may include encephalitis, meningitis, or other central nervous system findings occurring with confirmed rubella.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider clearly documents rubella plus a neurologic complication. It is appropriate when the record links the neurologic condition to the rubella infection. Check documentation if the note only says “rubella” without neurologic involvement.
Do not use for
Do not use B06.0 for uncomplicated rubella or for neurologic disorders not documented as related to rubella. If the complication is unspecified or the causal link is unclear, check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm both the rubella diagnosis and the specific neurologic complication in the provider note before assigning B06.0.
