B37.8Candidiasis of other sites

B37.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for candidiasis of other sites. It belongs to category B37 (candidiasis), block B35-B49 (mycoses) and chapter 1 (certain infectious and parasitic diseases). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 5 subcodes must be used instead.

Within B37, choose B37.8 (of other sites) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Candidal stomatitis (B37.0), pulmonary candidiasis (B37.1), of skin and nail (B37.2), of vulva and vagina (B37.3), of other urogenital sites (B37.4), Candidal meningitis (B37.5), Candidal endocarditis (B37.6), Candidal sepsis (B37.7) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: B37.81 (esophagitis), B37.82 (enteritis), B37.83 (cheilitis), B37.84 (externa) and B37.89 (candidiasis).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
