Influenza & Other Viruses
There are three types of influenza viruses that cause illness to humans. Influenza A viruses are divided into subtypes Influenza A (H1N1) and Influenza A (H3N2). Influenza B viruses aren’t divided into subtypes, but are broken down into individual strains. Influenza C infections generally cause a mild respiratory illness and are not thought to cause epidemics. When coding influenza, we must code to the highest level of specificity for the type, subtype and associated manifestations. See how to quickly look up and assign the appropriate ICD-10 code using the Coding Center. – Recorded October 21, 2020
