What This Code Means
B67.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for echinococcus granulosus infection of liver. A parasitic infection caused by tapeworm larvae that form cysts in the liver, typically acquired from contact with infected animals or contaminated food. B67.0 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for certain infectious and parasitic diseases (a00-b99), within the section covering helminthiases (b65-b83).
B67.0 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.
Specify the site of infection (liver) to differentiate from other echinococcus locations.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for B67.0 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •Specify the site of infection (liver) to differentiate from other echinococcus locations
- •Document whether this is a primary infection or recurrent/relapsed infection for treatment planning
