About A08.3

A08.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other viral enteritis. It belongs to category A08 (viral and other specified intestinal infections), block A00-A09 (intestinal infectious diseases) and chapter 1 (certain infectious and parasitic diseases). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within A08, choose A08.3 (Other viral enteritis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Rotaviral enteritis (A08.0), acute gastroenteropathy due to Norwalk agent and other small round viruses (A08.1), adenoviral enteritis (A08.2), viral intestinal infection, unspecified (A08.4) and other specified intestinal infections (A08.8).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: A08.31 (enteritis), A08.32 (enteritis) and A08.39 (enteritis).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
