Is A32 a billable ICD-10-CM code?

No. A32 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.

Where does A32 sit in the tabular list?

Certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99), in the block Other bacterial diseases (A30-A49).

What cannot be coded together with A32?

A32 — Listeriosis

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

A32 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for listeriosis. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

neonatal (disseminated) listeriosis (P37.2)

Includes

Conditions this code covers.

listerial foodborne infection

Other codes that can never be billed with A32

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at A32. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading A32 alone.

A05Other bacterial foodborne intoxications, not elsewhere classified
G01Meningitis in bacterial diseases classified elsewhere
G05Encephalitis, myelitis and encephalomyelitis in diseases classified elsewhere
I39Endocarditis and heart valve disorders in diseases classified elsewhere
I68.2Cerebral arteritis in other diseases classified elsewhere

Risk adjustment

A32 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.

Code to one of these instead A32

5 child codes. Green means billable.
