Nonpyogenic meningitis

BILLABLE
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

G03.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of nonpyogenic meningitis. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code G03 is used to code Meningitis

Meningitis (from Greek μῆνιγξ méninx, "membrane" and the medical suffix -itis, "inflammation") is an acute inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known collectively as the meninges. The inflammation may be caused by infection with viruses, bacteria, or other microorganisms, and less commonly by certain drugs. Meningitis can be life-threatening because of the inflammation's proximity to the brain and spinal cord; therefore, the condition is classified as a medical emergency.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Nonpyogenic meningitis (exact match)

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 322.0 was previously used, G03.0 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
