About A01.1
A01.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for paratyphoid fever A. It belongs to category A01 (typhoid and paratyphoid fevers), block A00-A09 (intestinal infectious diseases) and chapter 1 (certain infectious and parasitic diseases). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Within A01 (typhoid and paratyphoid fevers), A01.1 is specifically for paratyphoid fever A. Related codes cover typhoid fever (A01.0), paratyphoid fever B (A01.2), paratyphoid fever C (A01.3) and paratyphoid fever, unspecified (A01.4).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 867 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 2.1859), DRG 868 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 1.0235) and DRG 869 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6787), in MDC 18 (Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, Systemic or Unspecified Sites), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 002.1 (paratyphoid fever A).
