Patient EducationClinical
Toxoplasmosis
Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. More than 60 million people in the U.S. have the parasite. Most of them don't get sick. But the parasite causes serious problems for some people. These include people with weak immune systems and babies whose mothers become infected for the first time during pregnancy.

Questions About B58Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for toxoplasmosis?
B58 is the ICD-10-CM category for toxoplasmosis, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.
Is B58 (Toxoplasmosis) a billable code?
No. This is a category header that groups the codes for toxoplasmosis, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for toxoplasmosis need a more specific code from this category, such as B58.00, B58.01, and B58.09.
Can B58 be reported with P37.1?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on B58 lists "congenital toxoplasmosis (P37.1)". 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).
