What This Code Means
B34.4 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for papovavirus infection, unspecified. A viral infection caused by papovavirus, a group of viruses that can cause various infections. The specific location or type of infection is not specified. B34.4 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for certain infectious and parasitic diseases (a00-b99), within the section covering other viral diseases (b25-b34).
B34.4 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but the current payload does not show a mapping under the CMS-HCC V28 or V24 community payment models, and none under the ESRD, Part D RxHCC, or HHS-HCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.
This is a non-specific code for papovavirus infections without documented site information.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for B34.4 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
