H1N1 diagnosis code
We will be giving the H1N1 vaccine to our OB patients. We also want to track patients that have been exposed to the virus. Has a specific ICD-9 been assigned?
I use the Ingenix updatable ICD-9 and found no distinct code for H1N1. I also looked at a draft fo the ICD-10, avian influenza was noted but not H1N1. Any suggestions:) I will use V04.81 for the vaccination, and assign an internal tracking for the exposure incidents. We are located in KY and have several death related cases, as well as several of our employee who have had exposure to infected children and grandchildren. Thanks:)
