B97.0
BillableAdenovirus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
This code indicates that an adenovirus infection is the underlying cause of another disease or condition that is being treated. It is used as a secondary code to identify the specific virus responsible when a patient has a viral infection affecting various body systems.
Coding Tips
- •This is a secondary code that must be paired with a primary diagnosis code describing the actual disease or condition caused by the adenovirus (such as respiratory infection, conjunctivitis, or gastroenteritis)
- •Do not use this code as the primary diagnosis; it should only be used to specify the causative organism when the manifestation code alone does not fully describe the etiology
