Other bacterial agents as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere (B96) ICD-10-CM
The B96 code range covers other bacterial agents as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere with 19 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 16 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2027, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.

About the B96 Code Range
These codes identify bacteria named as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. The subdivisions distinguish the bacteria, rather than the diseases they cause.
Some subdivisions name a single bacterial agent, such as B96.0 for Mycoplasma pneumoniae and B96.5 for Pseudomonas. B96.2 groups Escherichia coli by whether it produces Shiga toxin and whether the type is specified. Its Shiga toxin-producing subdivisions distinguish O157, other specified types, and an unspecified type. B96.8 groups other specified bacterial agents, with subdivisions for named agents and a remaining other specified category.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the B96 range?
Of the 19 codes in this range, 16 are billable and valid for claim submission from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. Category header codes group them but cannot be reported on claims.
What does the B96 range classify?
The range classifies other bacterial agents as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. Each code links to its own reference page with billing status, MS-DRG grouping, coding notes, and clinical information.
