ICD 10 Code A31.2. A31.2 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Disseminated mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (DMAC). It is found in the 2020 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2019 - Sep 30, 2020. A31.2 also applies to the following:

Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex is the most common non-tuberculosis mycobacterium causing human disease and is primarily a pulmonary pathogen that affects individuals with immunocompromised states. It is found in the environment in soil, natural water, hot tubs, and indoor water systems.

Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare infection (MAI) is an atypical mycobacterial infection, i.e. one with nontuberculous mycobacteria or NTM, caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), which is made of two Mycobacterium species, M. avium and M. intracellulare.
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) organisms cause disseminated disease in patients with AIDS. The organisms penetrate the gastrointestinal mucosa by unknown mechanisms and are phagocytosed by macrophages in the lamina propria. These cells cannot kill the organisms, and MAC spreads through the submucosal tissue.
The shorthand for these two diseases of cattle is the same, but they completely different bacteria: Mycobacterium bovis and Mycoplasma bovis. Every bacteria has a specific name, so that we can identify them better – the “surname” (in this case Mycobacterium and Mycoplasma) and then a “first name” (bovis).
Clinically, the physician may not be differentiating the diagnoses as two different things, even though coding does. Now, bacteremia is the principal diagnosis, it won't change your DRG, though it could certainly affect quality concerns and medical necessity.
Bacteremia is the presence of bacteria in the blood, hence a microbiological finding. Sepsis is a clinical diagnosis needing further specification regarding focus of infection and etiologic pathogen, whereupon clinicians, epidemiologists and microbiologists apply different definitions and terminology.
If a patient is admitted because of bacteremia, it should be the principal diagnosis even though bacteremia is a symptom code, because it is the condition that occasioned the admission.
MAC lung disease is an infection caused a group of bacteria called Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). MAC includes two closely related species, Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium intracellulare, and may also be referred to as MAI.
A: “Mycobacterium avium intracellulare” (MAI) or “Mycobacterium avium Complex” (MAC) is an atypical NON-TB germ (micro-organism). MAC is related to the tuberculosis germ, but is not contagious and the MAC microbes live in the environment. It comprises more than one type of microorganism (both M. avium and M.
Pulmonary Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection causes chronic pulmonary diseases. MAC occurs in the natural environment and the common source of infection appears to be water, soil or dust, with human-to-human transmission considered uncommon 1–3.
The presence of viable bacteria circulating in the blood. Fever, chills, tachycardia, and tachypnea are common acute manifestations of bacteremia. The majority of cases are seen in already hospitalized patients, most of whom have underlying diseases or procedures which render their bloodstreams susceptible to invasion.
