Salmonella infection, unspecified 1 A02.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM A02.9 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of A02.9 - other international versions of ICD-10 A02.9 may differ.
The ICD code A020 is used to code Gastroenteritis. Gastroenteritis, also known as infectious diarrhea, is inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract that involves the stomach and small intestine. Signs and symptoms include some combination of diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Fever, lack of energy, and dehydration may also occur.
In the ICD-9-CM Alphabetic Index, instructional notes direct the coder to “Enteritis, due to, by organism” when looking up “Infections, intestinal.” However, an intestinal infection defaults to code 009.0, Infectious colitis, enteritis, and gastroenteritis.

The ICD Qualifier designates whether the claim being submitted is for services rendered prior to October 1 (using ICD-9 codes) or on or after October 1 (using ICD-10 codes.) A claim may use ICD-9 codes or ICD-10 codes, but not both. A batch of claims submitted to NCTracks may include both ICD-9 and ICD-10 claims.
Specifically, diagnosis codes are found in box 21 A-L on the claim form and should be entered using ICD-10-CM codes. The total number of diagnoses that can be listed on a single claim are twelve (12). The diagnosis pointers are located in box 24E on the paper claim form for each CPT code billed.

MA63-- Missing/incomplete/invalid principal diagnosis means that the first listed or principal diagnosis on the claim cannot be used as a first listed or principal diagnosis. Review your coding manuals for how to use this code. A different code will need to be billed as first listed or principal diagnosis on the claim.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code Z28. 20: Immunization not carried out because of patient decision for unspecified reason.
E codes are meant to be used as supplemental codes – never the primary diagnosis – and serve an informational purpose for researchers collecting data on injuries and injury prevention strategies.
A02.9 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of salmonella infection, unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Enteritis (entero- + -itis) is inflammation of the small intestine. It is most commonly caused by food or drink contaminated with pathogenic microbes. Symptoms include abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, dehydration, and fever. Inflammation of related organs of the gastrointestinal system are:
infection or foodborne intoxication due to any Salmonella species other than S. typhi and S. paratyphi
NEC Not elsewhere classifiable This abbreviation in the Tabular List represents “other specified”. When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Tabular List includes an NEC entry under a code to identify the code as the “other specified” code.
Gastroenteritis, also known as infectious diarrhea, is inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract that involves the stomach and small intestine. Signs and symptoms include some combination of diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Fever, lack of energy, and dehydration may also occur. This typically lasts less than two weeks.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 003.0 was previously used, A02.0 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
The term “food poisoning” generally refers to any illness resulting from a foodborne pathogen that causes intestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The term also groups illnesses by symptoms rather than by the pathogen that causes the illness (such as a toxin, bacterium, virus or parasite).
Intestinal infectious diseases may be caused by a microorganism itself, or by toxins produced by the microorganism. Generally, enteritis caused by the microorganism itself is classified as a foodborne infection, while enteritis caused by the toxin produced by the microorganism is classified as foodborne intoxication. One aspect that makes classification of intestinal infections difficult is that some enteric pathogens cause both types of enteritis; that is, the bacteria itself may cause enteritis, yet toxins produced by the same bacteria may exacerbate the condition.
Foodborne intoxications classified in Chapter 1 – Infectious and Parasitic Diseases result from toxins in bacteria or other organisms that are growing on food.
While laypeople still refer to illnesses caused by food as food poisoning, public health departments recognize and classify food poisoning as occurring either due to an infection (bacterium, virus, parasite or other microorganism) or due to a toxin. The terms used are “foodborne infection” and “foodborne intoxication.”.
One aspect that makes classification of intestinal infections difficult is that some enteric pathogens cause both types of enteritis; that is, the bacteria itself may cause enteritis, yet toxins produced by the same bacteria may exacerbate the condition.
Gastroenteritis due to a virus is classified to ICD-9-CM subcategory 008.6.
Viral intestinal infections are classified to category A08, and the common bacterial intestinal infections are classified to category A04. Food poisoning is also classified in this code block. Major types of foodborne illnesses include the following:
Intestinal infections affect the gastrointestinal tract and may be caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, yeast, fungus, or mold. In the ICD-9-CM Alphabetic Index, instructional notes direct the coder to “Enteritis, due to, by organism” when looking up “Infections, intestinal.”.
For coding purposes, dehydration may be sequenced as the principal or secondary diagnosis depending on the circumstances of admission and the attending physician’s judgment. Dehydration is the principal diagnosis if it is the condition established after study to be chiefly responsible for occasioning the admission.
Viruses and parasites do not cause foodborne intoxication. • Toxin-mediated infection is the consumption of a food containing harmful bacteria. The bacteria produce a toxin that causes an illness. Bacteria that may cause the toxin-mediated infection are Shigella spp and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli.
