Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
Use this code only when the listeriosis presentation does not meet criteria for more specific codes (A32.0 for cutaneous, A32.1 for meningitis, A32.11 for meningoencephalitis, A32.12 for listerial sepsis, or A32.7 for listerial septicemia)
Always document the specific site or manifestation of the listeriosis infection in the medical record to support accurate code selection and ensure this 'other forms' code is truly the most appropriate choice

What This Code Means

A32.89 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other forms of listeriosis. This code represents uncommon or atypical forms of listeriosis, a serious bacterial infection caused by Listeria monocytogenes that doesn't fit into the more common presentations like meningitis or septicemia. It may include infections affecting various body systems or unusual clinical manifestations of this foodborne pathogen. A32.89 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for certain infectious and parasitic diseases (a00-b99), within the section covering other bacterial diseases (a30-a49).

A32.89 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Use this code only when the listeriosis presentation does not meet criteria for more specific codes (A32.0 for cutaneous, A32.1 for meningitis, A32.11 for meningoencephalitis, A32.12 for listerial sepsis, or A32.7 for listerial septicemia).

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for A32.89 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Use this code only when the listeriosis presentation does not meet criteria for more specific codes (A32.0 for cutaneous, A32.1 for meningitis, A32.11 for meningoencephalitis, A32.12 for listerial sepsis, or A32.7 for listerial septicemia)
  • Always document the specific site or manifestation of the listeriosis infection in the medical record to support accurate code selection and ensure this 'other forms' code is truly the most appropriate choice
