** Per ICD-10, Novel Influenza A/H1N1 is coded J10.1. Additional Notes: Influenza A is just plain old influenza and coded to J10-, Influenza due to identified “influenza” virus is coded J11-. Influenza is often documented as being diagnosed on the basis of a nasal swab.
J10.1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Flu due to oth ident influenza virus w oth resp manifest.
In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index, look for Disease, diseased/heart (organic)/hypertensive and you are directed to see Hypertension, heart. Hypertension, hypertensive/heart directs you to I11.9. Review the code in the Tabular List to verify the code accuracy.
J10.1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2018/2019 edition of ICD-10-CM J10.1 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of J10.1 - other international versions of ICD-10 J10.1 may differ.

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.
9: Fever, unspecified.
9 Acute upper respiratory infection, unspecified.
International Classification of Diseases 9th revision (ICD-9) diagnostic codes specific to influenza (487.0, 487.1, and 487.8) are easily retrieved from hospital discharge records.
The ICD-10 code to use for flu vaccination is Z23, encounter for immunization. There are many CPT codes to describe influenza vaccine, varying by manufacturer, product and age group.
Influenza A is usually the more common form of the virus and tends to circulate early in the season, while influenza B is normally less common and shows up late in the season. This season, influenza B has been more common and is circulating earlier than in previous seasons.
