ICD-10-CM Code for Meningitis, unspecified G03. 9.
Pneumococcal meningitis is caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria (also called pneumococcus, or S pneumoniae). This type of bacteria is the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in adults. It is the second most common cause of meningitis in children older than age 2. Risk factors include: Alcohol use.
If the immunization is related to exposure (eg, the administration of a Tdap vaccine as a part of wound care), the ICD-10 code describing the exposure should be used as the primary diagnosis code for the vaccine, and Z23 should be used as the secondary code.
Z23 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z23 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Pneumococcal disease is caused by bacteria. It can lead to pneumonia, ear infections, and blood infections. It can also inflame the coverings of the brain and spinal cord, which is called meningitis.
Pneumonia can be classified into bacterial, viral, fungal or aspiration as the cause. Pneumococcal pneumonia specifically refers to a pneumonia caused by the Strep pneumo bacteria,” Dr. Jenkins says.

Meningitis is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Viral meningitis is the most common and least serious type. Bacterial meningitis is rare, but can be very serious if not treated.
Nonpyogenic Meningitis is typically viral meningitis and is in the absence of an acute bacterial pathogen. The common symptoms of Nonpyogenic Meningitis are fever, headache, and stiff neck. Since Nonpyogenic Meningitis is viral meningitis, there is no specific treatment and usually it just passes over.
Meningitis is an inflammation (swelling) of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. A bacterial or viral infection of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord usually causes the swelling. However, injuries, cancer, certain drugs, and other types of infections also can cause meningitis.
