I dont think there is a code for exposure, just if they actually have it.

okay, thanks... The provider marked staph exposure for me to code but there is not a code for this so I'm leaving it blank.

Much Thanks,

There is something.... You can try V01.89 "Contact or exposure to other communicable diseases."
