Overview. Strep throat is a bacterial infection that can make your throat feel sore and scratchy. Strep throat accounts for only a small portion of sore throats. If untreated, strep throat can cause complications, such as kidney inflammation or rheumatic fever.
Strep throat is an infection in the throat and tonsils caused by group A Streptococcus bacteria (called “group A strep”). However, viruses — not bacteria — cause most sore throats. Group A strep bacteria spread through contact with droplets from an infected person when they talk, cough, or sneeze.
Elements that should be documented to determine the correct ICD-10-CM code include:
041.00 Streptococcus infection in conditions classified elsewhere and of unspecified site, streptococcus, unspecified
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z86.19 became effective on October 1, 2021.

A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( J02.0) and the excluded code together.
When a respiratory condition is described as occurring in more than one site and is not specifically indexed, it should be classified to the lower anatomic site (e.g. tracheobronchitis to bronchitis in J40 ).
