ICD-10-CM B87: Myiasis Overview
The ICD-10-CM B87 group represents myiasis, infestations caused by fly larvae invading skin, wounds, body cavities, orifices, and occasionally internal organs. These conditions target the integumentary system and sites of tissue breakdown where larvae develop. Accurate coding matters for appropriate reimbursement because it captures the site, type, and complications of infestation for clinical and billing records.
