Includes
Conditions this code covers.
- infection or foodborne intoxication due to any Salmonella species other than S. typhi and S. paratyphi
Other codes that can never be billed with A02
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at A02. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading A02 alone.
Risk adjustment
A02 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Code to one of these instead A02
5 child codes. Green means billable.
