Full Answer
ICD Code S71.1 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the six child codes of S71.1 that describes the diagnosis 'open wound of thigh' in more detail.
The first code should be an S code that describes the location of the bite, such as S70.362A “Insect bite (nonvenomous), left thigh, initial encounter.” So, it isn’t that it is difficult to code for a tick bite, it’s that there are two steps and the super easy, quick search leads providers astray.

The provider searches for the word “tick” and in many systems, up pops W57.xxxA. Someone helpful has changed the ICD-10 definition to include the word tick, although the ICD-10 definition is “Bitten or stung by nonvenomous insect and other nonvenomous arthropods, initial encounter.”
Whether the procedure is separately billable depends on the E/M facility guidelines you employ. If the tick requires incision to remove, use the CPT code for the site specified, if applicable, and a foreign body, subcutaneous or superficial injury tissue code for the site as well.
