2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B83Other helminthiases
B83 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for other helminthiases, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as B83.0, B83.1, B83.2, and B83.3.

Tabular List NotesGuidance
Coding notes and annotation back-references applicable to this code.
Type 1 Excludes
- capillariasis NOS B81.1
Type 2 Excludes
- intestinal capillariasis B81.1
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

Parasites are living things that use other living things - like your body - for food and a place to live. You can get them from contaminated food or water, a bug bite, or sexual contact. Some parasitic diseases are easily treated and some are not.
