B83 — Other helminthiases

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

B83 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other helminthiases. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

capillariasis NOS (B81.1)

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

intestinal capillariasis (B81.1)

Other codes that can never be billed with B83

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at B83. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading B83 alone.

B81Other intestinal helminthiases, not elsewhere classified

Risk adjustment

B83 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 B83

7 child codes. Green means billable.
