No multiple bite code. You have to code for each of the bites and sites. There isn't a code for multiple and L53.8 is a symptom. You can't code for symptoms when a definitive DX is available. Hope this helps.
L53.8 would not be appropriate as that is a symptom of a bug bite and you don't code to the symptoms when there is a definitive DX. You are going to have to code for the bites and sites. if I remember right from someone's post earlier this year, there is no general bug bites all over body DX. I don't think this qualifies as Sequela either.
