Acute gastroenteritis without further specificity is assigned to code 558.9. Viral gastroenteritis and stomach flu without specification as to the virus goes to code 008.8. Most cases of norovirus, also called Norwalk virus, may last from one to three days and may not require treatment.
Noroviruses are a group of viruses (previously known as Norwalk-like viruses) that can cause gastroenteritis, an inflammation of the stomach and intestines. Norovirus is the leading cause of foodborne illness outbreaks in Minnesota. This infection is often mistakenly referred to as the “stomach flu”.
A09. 0 Other and unspecified gastroenteritis and colitis of infectious origin.
Noroviruses are a group of related viruses that cause acute gastrointestinal illness sporadically or in outbreaks. Noroviruses are sometimes referred to as "Norwalk virus" or "Norwalk-like virus," based on the name given to the first strain identified in the 1970s.
Noroviruses are transmitted primarily through the fecal- oral route, either by direct person-to-person spread or fecally contaminated food or water. Noroviruses can also spread via a droplet route from vomitus. These viruses are relatively stable in the environment and can survive freezing and heating to 60°C (140°F).
Noroviruses are members of a group of viruses called caliciviruses also known previously as "Norwalk-like viruses." Norovirus affects the stomach and intestines, causing an illness called gastroenteritis.
It is often called the “stomach flu”, although it is not caused by the influenza viruses. Many different viruses can cause gastroenteritis, including rotaviruses, noroviruses, adenoviruses, sapoviruses, and astroviruses.
Viral gastroenteritis is an inflammation of the inside lining of your gastrointestinal tract. It can be caused by rotavirus, norovirus, and adenovirus.
Gastroenteritis documented as infectious but with an unspecified organism is classified to code 009.0. If the gastroenteritis is not further specified and noninfectious, assign code 558.9. In ICD-9-CM, the terms gastroenteritis, colitis, and enteritis are used interchangeably.
Acute gastroenteritis is a common infectious disease syndrome, causing a combination of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. There are more than 350 million cases of acute gastroenteritis in the United States annually and 48 million of these cases are caused by foodborne bacteria.

You often feel nauseated and have abdominal pain. You may vomit and have diarrhea. You can feel very feeble. Sometimes you may also catch a fever.

Gastroenteritis may be caused by infection with bacteria, parasites, or viruses. It may also be caused by food poisoning, allergic reactions, or reactions to certain medicines or foods. Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines. Inflammation of the small intestine.
Inflammation of the colon section of the large intestine (intestine, large), usually with symptoms such as diarrhea (often with blood and mucus), abdominal pain, and fever. Inflammation of the colon. Inflammation of the ileum. Inflammation of the intestine, especially of the small intestine.
A08.11 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of acute gastroenteropathy due to Norwalk agent. 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:
ICD Code A08.1 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the two child codes of A08.1 that describes the diagnosis 'acute gastrent d/t norwalk agent and oth small round viruses' in more detail.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code A08.1 is a non-billable code.
