The American Health Information Management Association sent an email to its members recommending that the code A92.8 be used for the Zika virus, according to an ICD-10 Monitor report.
Here are three notes:
1. It was recently reported that Zika could be transmitted through sexual contact, as well as infected mosquitoes.
2. The code A92.8 is used to indicate "other specified mosquito-borne viral fevers."
3. Thus far, 11 states have reported incidences of travel-related Zika cases.
