What This Code Means

This code is used for various complications and conditions that develop as a result of Lyme disease infection, beyond the more common manifestations like joint pain or facial paralysis. It captures the broader systemic effects that can occur when the Lyme disease infection affects different parts of the body.

Coding Tips

• •Use this code only after confirming the condition is directly associated with Lyme disease; do not use for unrelated conditions that happen to occur in a patient with Lyme disease history
• •Pair this code with the appropriate manifestation code (such as arthritis, carditis, or neurological conditions) to fully describe the patient's clinical presentation and ensure complete documentation
