About A80.3
A80.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for acute paralytic poliomyelitis, other and unspecified. It belongs to category A80 (acute poliomyelitis), block A80-A89 (viral and prion infections of the central nervous system) and chapter 1 (certain infectious and parasitic diseases). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.
Within A80, choose A80.3 (paralytic poliomyelitis, other and unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: paralytic poliomyelitis, vaccine-associated (A80.0), paralytic poliomyelitis, wild virus, imported (A80.1), paralytic poliomyelitis, wild virus, indigenous (A80.2), nonparalytic poliomyelitis (A80.4) and unspecified (A80.9).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: A80.30 (unspecified) and A80.39 (poliomyelitis).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
