B18.0 ICD-10-CM Code: Chronic viral hepatitis B with delta-agent
Billing Status: YES. This is a valid, specific, and billable ICD-10-CM reference.
Inpatient Payment Groups (MS-DRG)
MS-DRGs this diagnosis helps define, as principal or secondary, per the CMS ICD-10-CM/PCS MS-DRG Definitions Manual v43.0 (FY2026), Appendix B.
- MS-DRG 441 — DISORDERS OF LIVER EXCEPT MALIGNANCY, CIRRHOSIS OR ALCOHOLIC HEPATITIS WITH MCC (MDC 07)
- MS-DRG 442 — DISORDERS OF LIVER EXCEPT MALIGNANCY, CIRRHOSIS OR ALCOHOLIC HEPATITIS WITH CC (MDC 07)
- MS-DRG 443 — DISORDERS OF LIVER EXCEPT MALIGNANCY, CIRRHOSIS OR ALCOHOLIC HEPATITIS WITHOUT CC/MCC (MDC 07)
- MS-DRG 791 — PREMATURITY WITH MAJOR PROBLEMS (MDC 15)
- MS-DRG 793 — FULL TERM NEONATE WITH MAJOR PROBLEMS (MDC 15)
A diagnosis appearing in a group's logic does not by itself determine the DRG assigned to a stay; the grouper uses the full claim.

Payment categories this diagnosis maps to under CMS-HCC V28, payment year 2026.
