ICD-10 Code B67.3: Echinococcus granulosus infection, other and multiple sites

B67.3 is an ICD-10 diagnosis entry used to group records related to Echinococcus granulosus infection, other and multiple sites. You may see this entry in coding references, medical records, or claims workflows when a broader diagnosis category is being reviewed before a more specific code is chosen. ICD-10 entries help standardize how diagnoses are organized for coding, reporting, analytics, and documentation. This code sits within the broader ICD-10 area for Certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99).

What is this code?

ICD-10 entries help standardize how diagnoses are organized for coding, reporting, analytics, and documentation. This code sits within the broader ICD-10 area for Certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99).

đź“‹Clinical overview

This ICD-10 code is commonly used when documentation describes echinococcosis, also called hydatid or echinococcus infection. The most accurate code depends on whether the chart identifies Echinococcus granulosus, Echinococcus multilocularis, or an unspecified form, along with the affected organ site.

When is it used?

  • May be used when a clinician documents echinococcus granulosus infection, other and multiple sites in a patient's medical record.
  • May appear in hospital records, claims, referrals, and clinical documentation.
  • This code may act more like a grouping or parent code, so a more specific child code may be used in final documentation when available.

What it does not mean

  • A code alone does not explain severity, treatment plan, or outcome.
  • A medical code should not be treated as a substitute for a doctor's diagnosis or advice.
  • This entry may represent a broader category rather than the most specific billable code.

đź©şClinical context

When commonly used
  • Infectious-disease, inpatient, hepatobiliary, pulmonary, surgical, and follow-up documentation where hydatid or echinococcus infection is documented and the parasite type or organ site changes code specificity.
  • Coding and utilization-review workflows where the chart clearly identifies liver, lung, bone, multiple-site, or other-site echinococcosis and whether the infection is granulosus, multilocularis, or unspecified.
Common management context
  • Echinococcosis follow-up often includes imaging review, organ-specific assessment, infectious-disease planning, and documentation of whether the disease involves one site or multiple sites.
  • Documentation usually becomes more specific when the chart identifies the parasite type, affected organ, cyst location, or multisite involvement rather than using a broader unspecified echinococcosis label.
  • Specialist context already linked on this page includes Infectious Disease Specialist, General Physician.

🔍Key distinctions

Important notes
  • This ICD-10 family covers echinococcosis across different parasite types and organ sites and is more specific than a broad parasitic-infection label.
  • Both parasite type and organ-site detail matter here, because granulosus, multilocularis, liver, lung, bone, multiple-site, and unspecified branches are coded separately.
  • Echinococcus granulosus infection is coded separately from Echinococcus multilocularis infection and from unspecified echinococcosis because the documented parasite type changes code specificity.
  • Multiple-site echinococcosis is coded separately from single-organ disease because the chart documents involvement of more than one site.
