FAQ
ICD-10-CM code A08.8 is used for 'Other specified intestinal infections.' This means it applies when an intestinal infection is identified, but it's not a viral infection (like rotavirus or norovirus) or a general unspecified infectious gastroenteritis (A09).
Code A08.8 should be used when the specific organism causing the intestinal infection is known and it doesn't fall under a more precise viral code or the broader A09 (Infectious gastroenteritis and colitis, unspecified). A09 is typically used when the infectious agent is not specified or identified.
Yes, A08.8 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code. This means it can be used by healthcare providers to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes, assuming it aligns with the patient's clinical documentation and payer policies.
