B83.2 — Angiostrongyliasis due to Parastrongylus cantonensis
B83.2 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for angiostrongyliasis due to parastrongylus cantonensis. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist
The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.
- intestinal angiostrongyliasis (B81.3)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Eosinophilic meningoencephalitis due to Parastrongylus cantonensis
Other codes that can never be billed with B83.2
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at B83.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading B83.2 alone.
- B81Other intestinal helminthiases, not elsewhere classified
Risk adjustment
B83.2 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.
How B83.2 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to B83.2.
