The guideline states that if the provider documents "suspected", "possible", or "probable" Zika, do not assign code A92.5. Instead, assign a code(s) explaining the reason for encounter (such as fever, rash, or joint pain) or Contact with and (suspected) exposure to other viral communicable diseases. The only option that corresponds with this guideline is choice B, which is Zika (A92.5) and the reason for encounter (Z20.828). The other options do not align with this guideline.
