X2 – Influenza Due to Identified Novel Influenza A Virus with Other Respiratory Manifestations.
ICD-10-CM Code for Influenza due to other identified influenza virus with other respiratory manifestations J10. 1.
A novel influenza virus is an influenza A virus with a subtype that is different from the flu viruses that usually spread in people (H3N2 and H1N1). Some examples include H7N9, and H5N1. Occasionally, strains of influenza that normally affect birds, pigs, and other animals can infect humans.
Flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs.
The CPT® code modifier 59 is used to identify a distinct procedural service. In the context of influenza immunoassay testing, it supports coding CPT® 87400 once for influenza type A and once for influenza type B.

What are the types of influenza A? As well as infecting people, the influenza A virus can infect animals, including birds (causing avian flu) and pigs (causing swine flu or H1N1). In some cases, these types of influenza can be passed on to humans.
A: A novel/variant influenza A virus is an influenza A virus subtype that is different from currently circulating human influenza H1 and H3 viruses. Novel subtypes include, but are not limited to H2, H5, H7 and H9 subtypes.
The word “novel” originated from the Latin word “novus,” which means “new.” In medicine, “novel” usually refers to a virus or bacterial strain that was not previously identified. COVID-19 is a new disease, caused by the novel, or new, coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that was not previously seen in humans.
There are four types of influenza virus. Influenza A is the most common, followed by influenza B. Both are highly contagious, and their symptoms are similar. Influenza, also known as the flu, is a viral respiratory illness that is most prevalent during fall and winter months.
Strains of influenza B are exclusively contracted by humans, while A can be carried (and spread) by animals, however, both strains are transmitted mainly by respiratory droplets from coughing and contact with an infected person.
There are four types of influenza viruses: A, B, C and D. Human influenza A and B viruses cause seasonal epidemics of disease (known as flu season) almost every winter in the United States.
