- Billable — Valid for Submission
- CC — Complication or Comorbidity
- Not Chronic
A06.82 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other amebic genitourinary infections. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 867 through 869. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 10 closely related codes. Coders also document this condition as penile amebiasis. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Parasitic, other specified and unspecified infections.

Questions About A06.82Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for other amebic genitourinary infections?
The ICD-10-CM code for other amebic genitourinary infections is A06.82 (sometimes written as A0682). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is A06.82 (Amebic infection of other sites) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other amebic genitourinary infections on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does A06.82 group to?
When other amebic genitourinary infections is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 867, 869, 868, with relative weights from 0.6784 to 2.1855 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is A06.82 a CC or MCC?
CMS lists A06.82 as a CC (complication or comorbidity) for FY 2027. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it moves the inpatient stay to a higher-weighted DRG within its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 10 closely related codes in its exclusion list.
Can A06.82 be reported with a code from A07?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at A06, which applies to A06.82, lists "other protozoal intestinal diseases (A07.-)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
