B67.2 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for echinococcus granulosus infection of bone. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Other codes that can never be billed with B67.2
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at B67.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading B67.2 alone.

Risk adjustment
B67.2 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
