ICD-10-CM B36: Other Superficial Mycoses Overview
The ICD-10-CM B36 group includes superficial fungal infections of the skin, nails, and mucous membranes caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, and other superficial fungi. These conditions target integumentary tissues and commonly affect keratinized structures such as skin and nails. Accurate coding matters for reimbursement because it documents the specific fungal etiology and anatomic site, which informs medical necessity and appropriate claim adjudication.
