Listerial meningitis

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A serious bacterial infection of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord caused by Listeria monocytogenes bacteria. This is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical treatment with antibiotics.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify that the meningitis is specifically caused by Listeria monocytogenes (A32.11) rather than other bacterial causes, as this affects antibiotic selection and treatment protocols
  • •Ensure documentation clearly states 'listerial meningitis' and check for any associated complications or sequelae that may require additional codes
