What is the ICD-10 code for Staph aureus? 2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B95. 6: Staphylococcus aureus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. What types of infections are in the differential diagnosis of strep throat? Respiratory viruses (parainfluenza, rhinovirus, coxsackievirus, adenovirus, etc.) Arcanobaceterium haemolyticum.
The symptoms of a staph infection will vary depending on the type of infection and may include:
Types of folliculitis include:

6 for Staphylococcus aureus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Certain infectious and parasitic diseases .
ICD-10 code: B95. 8 Unspecified staphylococcus as the cause of diseases classified to other chapters.
The payer is correct - B95. 61 cannot be a primary diagnosis. Per the section B95-B97 guidelines in ICD-10: "These categories are provided for use as supplementary or additional codes to identify the infectious agent(s) in diseases classified elsewhere."
Staph infections are caused by staphylococcus bacteria. These types of germs are commonly found on the skin or in the nose of many healthy people. Most of the time, these bacteria cause no problems or cause relatively minor skin infections.

Meticillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus. aureus (MSSA) Staphylococcus aureus (often shortened to “Staph”, “Staph aureus” or S. aureus) is a type of bacteria (germ) which lives harmlessly on the skin and in the noses, in about one third of people.
MSSA, or methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, is an infection caused by a type of bacteria commonly found on the skin. You might have heard it called a staph infection. Treatment for staph infections generally requires antibiotics.

The best way to prevent staph is to keep hands and wounds clean. Most staph skin infections are easily treated with antibiotics or by draining the infection. Some staph bacteria such as mrsa (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) are resistant to certain antibiotics, making infections harder to treat.
skin infections are the most common. They can look like pimples or boils.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM A49.0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
You are more likely to get one if you have a cut or scratch, or have contact with a person or surface that has staph bacteria.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code L73.9 and a single ICD9 code, 706.9 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
L73.9 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of follicular disorder, unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Folliculitis is the infection and inflammation of one or more hair follicles. The condition may occur anywhere on the skin with the exception of the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. The rash may appear as pimples that come to white tips on the face, chest, back, arms, legs, and head. Specialty:

The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10 code (s). The following references for the code L73.8 are found in the index:
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code L73.8 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Folliculitis is inflammation of the hair follicle due to infection, chemical irritation or physical injury. Bacterial folliculitis is the most common form of folliculitis.
Bacterial folliculitis affects children and adults, with adolescents and young adult males most often infected. It is prevalent worldwide.
It may arise on any body site but is most often diagnosed in the scalp, beard area, axilla, buttocks and extremities. Systemic symptoms are uncommon. Different types of bacterial folliculitis are described below.
Bacterial folliculitis is usually diagnosed clinically but can be confirmed by bacterial swabs sent for microscopy, culture and sensitivity.
Hot tub or spa pool folliculitis presents with painful papules and pustules on the trunk some hours after soaking in hot water, mainly in sites that were covered by bathing costume. It may be accompanied by mild systemic symptoms including fever. Untreated, it settles within about 10 days without scarring.
They may be itchy or mildly sore. Superficial folliculitis heals without scarring. A hordeolum or stye is bacterial folliculitis affecting an eyelash.
