B08.02 ICD-10-CM Code: Orf virus disease

B08.02 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for orf virus disease. Orf is a viral skin infection caused by a virus found in sheep and goats that can spread to humans through direct contact with infected animals or contaminated materials. It typically causes painful blisters and sores, usually on the hands or fingers, that progress through several stages before healing. B08.02 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for certain infectious and parasitic diseases (a00-b99), within the section covering viral infections characterized by skin and mucous membrane lesions (b00-b09).

B08.02 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Orf is an occupational disease commonly seen in farmers, veterinarians, and slaughterhouse workers; document the exposure source and occupation when available.
