Includes

  • cysticerciasis infection due to larval form of Taenia solium

Other codes that can never be billed with B69

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at B69. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading B69 alone.

  • M63Disorders of muscle in diseases classified elsewhere
  • B68Taeniasis
  • G99.8Other specified disorders of nervous system in diseases classified elsewhere

B69 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead B69

4 child codes. Green means billable.
