A80

Acute poliomyelitis

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 6 more specific codes instead:

  • A80.0 Acute paralytic poliomyelitis, vaccine-associated
  • A80.1 Acute paralytic poliomyelitis, wild virus, imported
  • A80.2 Acute paralytic poliomyelitis, wild virus, indigenous
  • A80.3 Acute paralytic poliomyelitis, other and unspecified (also a header)
  • A80.4 Acute nonparalytic poliomyelitis
  • A80.9 Acute poliomyelitis, unspecified

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

  1. FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Acute poliomyelitis
