ICD-10 Code A95.0 – Sylvatic Yellow Fever (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A95.0 – Sylvatic yellow fever
What it is
Sylvatic yellow fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease acquired in forest or jungle settings. It refers to yellow fever transmitted in a natural wildlife cycle rather than in urban transmission.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical yellow fever may include fever, headache, muscle pain, nausea, and jaundice, with possible bleeding or liver involvement in severe cases.
When to use this code
Use A95.0 when the provider documents sylvatic yellow fever or clearly identifies yellow fever acquired in a forest cycle. It may also fit confirmed cases linked to exposure in endemic jungle areas. Check documentation for the transmission setting if the record is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for urban yellow fever, suspected exposure without confirmation, or nonspecific viral fever. If the chart does not distinguish the transmission type, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the specific yellow fever type only when the record identifies it; otherwise, query for clarification.
