Z11.0 — Encounter for screening for intestinal infectious diseases
Z11.0 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for encounter for screening for intestinal infectious diseases. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Other codes that can never be billed with Z11.0
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Z11.0. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Z11.0 alone.

Risk adjustment
Z11.0 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.
How Z11.0 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to Z11.0.
