ICD-10-CM Codes›A00–B99›B65-B83›B66
- Billable — Valid for Submission
- CC — Complication or Comorbidity
- Not Chronic
B66.0 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for opisthorchiasis. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 441 through 443. 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 8 closely related codes. Coders also document this condition as disease caused by Opisthorchiidae. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Parasitic, other specified and unspecified infections.
