ICD-10 Code B94: Sequelae of other and unspecified infectious and parasitic diseases

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).

When is it used?

• May be used when a clinician documents sequelae of other and unspecified infectious and parasitic diseases 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.
