Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. B96.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of mycoplasma pneumoniae [M. pneumoniae] as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere.
J15.7 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 J15.7 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of J15.7 - other international versions of ICD-10 J15.7 may differ.
ICD-10 code A49. 3 for Mycoplasma infection, unspecified site is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Certain infectious and parasitic diseases .
Pneumonia is inflamed or swollen lung tissue due to infection with a germ. Mycoplasma pneumonia is caused by the bacteria Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M pneumoniae). This type of pneumonia is also called atypical pneumonia because the symptoms are different from those of pneumonia due to other common bacteria.
ICD-10 code J15. 9 for Unspecified bacterial pneumonia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
Mycoplasma pneumoniae bacteria commonly cause mild infections of the respiratory system (the parts of the body involved in breathing). The most common illness caused by these bacteria, especially in children, is tracheobronchitis (chest cold). Lung infections caused by M.
In general, infections caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae are mild. Once someone becomes infected with the bacteria, symptoms usually appear after 1 to 4 weeks. Symptoms depend on the type of infection. The most common type of infection is tracheobronchitis (chest cold), but pneumonia (lung infection) can occur.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae are bacteria that can cause illness by damaging the lining of the respiratory system (throat, lungs, windpipe). People can have the bacteria in their nose or throat at one time or another without being ill.

In the treatment of mycoplasmal pneumonia, antimicrobials against M pneumoniae are bacteriostatic, not bactericidal. Tetracycline and erythromycin compounds are very effective. The second-generation tetracyclines (doxycycline) and macrolides are the drugs of choice.
Several Mycoplasma species can cause disease, including M. pneumoniae, which is an important cause of atypical pneumonia (formerly known as "walking pneumonia"), and M. genitalium, which has been associated with pelvic inflammatory diseases.
CDC uses molecular testing with multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as the primary laboratory procedure for M. pneumoniae identification. CDC does not use culture or serological testing as routine diagnostic methods. Specimens identified as positive for M.
The illness can last from a few days to a month or more (especially coughing). Complications do not happen often. No one knows how long an infected person remains contagious, but it is probably less than 20 days.
Because of the endemicity of infection with M pneumoniae in susceptible populations, isolating patients is seldom practical and generally is not recommended.
Our investigations demonstrated that M. pneumoniae can establish a chronic pulmonary infection for up to approximately 18 months after inoculation and revealed evidence that M. pneumoniae infection in the respiratory tract can lead to chronic pulmonary inflammation and long-term functional sequelae.
Most people will recover from an infection caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae without antibiotics. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about over-the-counter medicines that can help you feel better while you are recovering. However, if someone develops pneumonia (lung infection) caused by M.
The ICD code B960 is used to code Mycoplasma pneumonia. Mycoplasma pneumonia (also known as "walking pneumonia" because its patients can sometimes continue to walk about while suffering from its symptoms) is a form of bacterial pneumonia caused by the bacterial species Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code B96.0 and a single ICD9 code, 041.81 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
