FAQ
ICD-10-CM code A02.29 is used to describe a Salmonella infection that has localized to a specific body site, which is *not* one of the more commonly specified localized infections such as meningitis, pneumonia, arthritis, osteomyelitis, or pyelonephritis.
Yes, A02.29 is designated as a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code, meaning it can be used for reimbursement purposes in medical billing, particularly for dates of service on or after October 1, 2025.
