We recently have received insurance denials when billing RSV (code B97.4) as the only diagnosis. I have not been able to find another ICD10 code for RSV (respiratory syncytial virus). Since we are a pediatrician's office, we have a lot of patients that are seen and treated for this condition only. Any suggestions?
 
That code specifically is intended to be used with an underlying condition. The note states:
Note
These categories are provided for use as supplementary or additional codes to identify the infectious agent(s) in diseases classified elsewhere.
You probably need a J code for the respiratory condition.
