About B60

B60 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other protozoal diseases, not elsewhere classified. It belongs to block B50-B64 (protozoal diseases) and chapter 1 (certain infectious and parasitic diseases). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: B60.0 (babesiosis), B60.1 (Acanthamebiasis), B60.2 (Naegleriasis) and B60.8 (diseases).

Don't report B60 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: cryptosporidiosis (A07.2), intestinal microsporidiosis (A07.8) and isosporiasis (A07.3).

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