Please HELP with INSECT BITE DIAGNOSIS problem, we don't have specific for extremities from S30.86x category and the ICD 9 conversion of 919.4 is T07 category and I have seen some will use T14.8 other skin injury.
S30.86x is for "Insect bite of abdomen, low back, pelvis and extrn genitals" ... I'm afraid you're looking in the wrong site.#N#There are similar codes for the other body areas. For example, if you look in the index under Bite, Forearm, Superficial, Insect it will lead you to S50.86x.#N#Bite, Leg (lower), Superficial, Insect - S80.86x.#N#Bite, Head, Superficial, Insect, S00.96.#N#There's also:#N#Bite, Arm (upper)...#N#Bite, Thigh...#N#etc...#N#I do a lot of these because our providers like to jump to code W57 which cannot be used as a primary code!
non venomous insect bite to chest and thorax can be found under S20. and so on.. the classification breaks down injuries to body area, the reason you cannot find extremities and face under S30 is because that is the general area for superficial injuries of abdomen, lower back, lumbar spine, pelvis and external genitals.
