ICD-10 Code B88.0 – Other acariasis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B88.0 – Other acariasis
What it is
Other acariasis refers to infestation or disease caused by mites that is not classified elsewhere. Use this code when the record identifies a mite-related condition but does not specify a more exact diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly noted findings may include itching, skin irritation, or a visible mite exposure history, but you should code only what the provider documents.
When to use this code
Use B88.0 when the clinician documents acariasis, mite infestation, or a mite-related disorder and no more specific ICD-10-CM code applies. It is appropriate when the type of mite is unclear or the documentation is nonspecific. Check documentation if the chart suggests another parasitic or dermatologic condition instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for scabies or other specifically classified infestations. If the record names a different parasite, skin disorder, or a more specific mite condition, choose the documented diagnosis instead.
Coding tip
Verify that the provider explicitly links the condition to mites before assigning B88.0.
