About A80.4

A80.4 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for acute nonparalytic poliomyelitis. 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 billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within A80 (acute poliomyelitis), A80.4 is specifically for acute nonparalytic poliomyelitis. Related codes cover paralytic poliomyelitis, vaccine-associated (A80.0), paralytic poliomyelitis, wild virus, imported (A80.1), paralytic poliomyelitis, wild virus, indigenous (A80.2), paralytic poliomyelitis, other and unspecified (A80.3) and unspecified (A80.9).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 865 (Viral Illness with MCC, relative weight 1.3485) and DRG 866 (Viral Illness without MCC, relative weight 0.8692), 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 045.20 (acute nonparalytic poliomyelitis, poliovirus, unspecified type).
