About B87.8

B87.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for myiasis of other sites. It belongs to category B87 (myiasis), block B85-B89 (pediculosis, acariasis and other infestations) and chapter 1 (certain infectious and parasitic diseases). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within B87, choose B87.8 (of other sites) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: cutaneous myiasis (B87.0), wound myiasis (B87.1), ocular myiasis (B87.2), nasopharyngeal myiasis (B87.3), Aural myiasis (B87.4) and unspecified (B87.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: B87.81 (myiasis), B87.82 (myiasis) and B87.89 (sites).

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