Our program [[Query check ICD10 Inf Infection req Pathogen must have one|requires infections to have a pathogen]], and [[Check Inf Pathogens must have Infection requiring pathogen or Potential Infection|does not allow pathogens for non-infections]]. Many of our "wastebasket" [[NOS]] codes could be used for infections and non-infections. In order to be able to code an infection with one of these, you must also code [[Infectious disease NOS]] and the [[Pathogen]] as [[Combined ICD10 codes]].
