ICD-10 Code B95.2 – Enterococcus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B95.2 – Enterococcus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere
What it is
This code identifies Enterococcus as the infectious organism causing a condition classified elsewhere. Use it as an additional code when documentation names Enterococcus as the causative agent.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. The record should link Enterococcus to the associated infection or disease, such as a culture-confirmed or clinically documented enterococcal cause.
When to use this code
Use B95.2 when the provider documents Enterococcus as the cause of an infection and another code describes the site or condition. It supports organism identification without replacing the principal diagnosis. Apply it only when the causal relationship is clear in the chart.
Do not use for
Do not use this code as the primary diagnosis, and do not use it when Enterococcus is merely part of a culture result without documented relevance. Check documentation if the organism is not clearly identified as the cause.
Coding tip
Pair B95.2 with the code for the specific infection site, and confirm the provider explicitly links Enterococcus to the condition.
