This is not a standard ICD10 code but a ICD10 Custom code. We added it for the following reason:
See Non-standard ICD10 Diagnoses for other codes like this. |
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
Non-specific pathogens codes: |
Candidate Combined ICD10 codes
Infections
Infections in ICD10 have combined coding requirements for some of their pathogens. Any that have antibiotic resistances would store those as Combined ICD10 codes as well. If the infection is acquired in the hospital, see Nosocomial infection, NOS. See Lab and culture reports for confirmation and details about tests. See Infections in ICD10 for more general info.
Pathogens
A Pathogen has to be coded in combination with all infection requiring pathogens and should be coded with potential infections as applicable. There will be cross-checks, see Infections in ICD10#CCDMB Data Integrity Checks for more info.
