A88.0 ICD-10-CM Code: Enteroviral exanthematous fever [Boston exanthem]

A88.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for enteroviral exanthematous fever [boston exanthem]. Boston exanthem is a viral infection caused by enteroviruses that causes fever and a characteristic rash on the skin. It is a contagious illness that typically affects children and resolves on its own within a few days. A88.0 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for certain infectious and parasitic diseases (a00-b99), within the section covering viral and prion infections of the central nervous system (a80-a89).

A88.0 has no mapping under the CMS-HCC V28 or V24 community payment models. A88.0 also appears in the HHS-HCC commercial risk model (HCC 004 (HHS-HCC 004 adult, RAF varies by metal level)), which is a commercial market model rather than a Medicare Advantage payment mapping. Do not assign V28 risk adjustment value from this page; verify the applicable model and payment year before using this code for risk adjustment.

Ensure the diagnosis is specifically documented as Boston exanthem or enteroviral exanthematous fever to use this code rather than other exanthem codes.
