Sandfly fever

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

What This Code Means

Sandfly fever is a viral infection transmitted through the bite of infected sandflies, causing symptoms like fever, headache, and body aches. It is typically a self-limiting illness that resolves within a few days to weeks.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify the specific type of sandfly fever (Pappataci fever or other variants) in the clinical documentation, as this may affect treatment and reporting requirements
  • •Ensure the code is used only when sandfly fever is confirmed or suspected based on clinical presentation and epidemiological exposure; document the geographic location or travel history when available
