When a patient presents with an insect bite or spider bite, you have a few issues to consider before you choose your final code. You’ll find the ICD-10-CM Index to Diseases and Injuries is a smart place to start your search. The index entry for “Bite (s) (animal) (human)” has many subentries based on site, such as ankle.
Summer clothing and outdoor adventures may add up to increased contact with rash-causing plants. The ICD-10-CM index points you to L23.7 Allergic contact dermatitis due to plants, except food for poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac dermatitis. Watch for: In some cases, the dermatitis may spread and cause significant issues like skin infections.
The ICD-10-CM index has a long list of subentries under “Heat (effects).” Most of them fall under T67.- Effects of heat and light, but there are a few exceptions.
ICD Code W57 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use specify a 7th character that describes the diagnosis 'bit/stung by nonvenom insect and oth nonvenomous arthropods' in more detail. The 7th characters that can be added, and the resulting billable codes, are as follows: 7th Digit. Billable Code.
Insect bites and stings occur when an insect is agitated and seeks to defend itself through its natural defense mechanisms, or when an insect seeks to feed off the bitten person. Some insects inject formic acid, which can cause an immediate skin reaction often resulting in redness and swelling in the injured area.
The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier. T67.4XXA Initial Encounter or T67.4XXD Subsequent Encounter. More Info

Non-specific codes like S40.861 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10 codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for insect bite (nonvenomous) of right upper arm:
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
Most insect bites are harmless, though they sometimes cause discomfort. Bee, wasp, and hornet stings and fire ant bites usually hurt. Mosquito and flea bites usually itch. Insects can also spread diseases. In the United States, some mosquitoes spread West Nile virus.
