B67.9Echinococcosis, other and unspecified

B67.9 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for echinococcosis, other and unspecified. It belongs to category B67 (echinococcosis), block B65-B83 (helminthiases) and chapter 1 (certain infectious and parasitic diseases). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within B67, choose B67.9 (other and unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Echinococcus granulosus infection of liver (B67.0), Echinococcus granulosus infection of lung (B67.1), Echinococcus granulosus infection of bone (B67.2), Echinococcus granulosus infection, other and multiple sites (B67.3), Echinococcus granulosus infection, unspecified (B67.4), Echinococcus multilocularis infection of liver (B67.5), Echinococcus multilocularis infection, other and multiple sites (B67.6), Echinococcus multilocularis infection, unspecified (B67.7) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: B67.90 (unspecified) and B67.99 (echinococcosis).

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