A95.0 ICD-10-CM Code: Sylvatic yellow fever

A95.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for sylvatic yellow fever. Sylvatic yellow fever is a form of yellow fever that occurs in tropical rainforests and is transmitted to humans through mosquito bites, typically affecting people who work or travel in forested areas. This is the natural cycle of yellow fever that exists in wildlife populations. A95.0 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for certain infectious and parasitic diseases (a00-b99), within the section covering arthropod-borne viral fevers and viral hemorrhagic fevers (a90-a99).

A95.0 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.

Sylvatic yellow fever (A95.0) is distinct from urban yellow fever (A95.1) and unspecified yellow fever (A95.9) - verify the transmission setting and source to ensure correct code selection.
