Billable

Cutaneous amebiasis

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

This is a skin infection caused by parasitic amoebas that enter through breaks in the skin, typically occurring in tropical or subtropical regions. The infection causes ulcers, sores, or lesions on the skin surface.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify the diagnosis is specifically cutaneous (skin) amebiasis and not intestinal or hepatic amebiasis, as each has different codes
  • •Document the anatomical location of the skin lesions when possible, as this may support medical necessity and treatment decisions
