Zika virus: confirmed cases only
Official text from the FY2027 ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting. The wording is quoted exactly.
Guidelines I.C.1.f.1
“Code only a confirmed diagnosis of Zika virus (A92.5, Zika virus disease) as documented by the provider.”
“If the provider documents "suspected", "possible" or "probable" Zika, do not assign code A92.5.”
Where this applies
The Guidelines are the authority for assigning codes, and following them is required under HIPAA. This page quotes them for convenience and is not a substitute for the official document. See the Terms and Disclaimer.
