B83.9 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of helminthiasis, unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code B839 is used to code Helminthiasis

Helminthiasis, also known as worm infection, is any macroparasitic disease of humans and other animals in which a part of the body is infected with parasitic worms, known as helminths. There are numerous species of these parasites, which are broadly classified into tapeworms, flukes, and roundworms. They often live in the gastrointestinal tract of their hosts, but they may also burrow into other organs, where they induce physiological damage.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Helminth infection, unspecified (exact match)

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 128.9 was previously used, B83.9 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
