B95.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of streptococcus, group A, as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code B950 is used to code Group A streptococcal infection

A group A streptococcal infection is an infection with group A streptococcus (GAS), that is, Streptococcus pyogenes, the sole species constituting Lancefield group A. This beta-hemolytic species of bacteria is responsible for a wide range of both invasive and noninvasive infections.
