Excludes1 inherited from the categories above A08.19

These are not written on A08.19, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing A08.19 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on A08 — Viral and other specified intestinal infections

influenza with involvement of gastrointestinal tract (J09.X3, J10.2, J11.2)

Other codes that can never be billed with A08.19

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at A08.19. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading A08.19 alone.

J09.X3Influenza due to identified novel influenza A virus with gastrointestinal manifestations
J10.2Influenza due to other identified influenza virus with gastrointestinal manifestations
J11.2Influenza due to unidentified influenza virus with gastrointestinal manifestations

Risk adjustment

A08.19 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Medicare coverage

A08.19 is named in 7 Medicare coverage policies — 7 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
