B95.61 ICD-10-CM Code: Methicillin susceptible Staphylococcus aureus infection as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere

B95.61 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for methicillin susceptible staphylococcus aureus infection as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteria identified as the cause of another disease or infection in the patient. B95.61 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for certain infectious and parasitic diseases (a00-b99), within the section covering bacterial and viral infectious agents (b95-b97).

B95.61 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 secondary code used with the primary diagnosis code for the MSSA infection.
