ICD-10 Code A06.89 – Other amebic infections (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A06.89 – Other amebic infections
What it is
A06.89 identifies amebic infections caused by Entamoeba species that do not fit a more specific category. Use it for documented amebic disease when the record says “other” or gives an unusual site or presentation.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may include gastrointestinal symptoms, abdominal pain, or evidence of extraintestinal involvement when amebiasis is identified, but the chart should specify the infection type.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents an amebic infection that is not intestinal amebic dysentery, liver abscess, or another more specific amebiasis code. It is appropriate for atypical or unspecified “other” amebic infections in the record. Check documentation for the exact site and organism.
Do not use for
Do not use A06.89 if the record supports a more specific amebic diagnosis, such as intestinal disease or amebic liver abscess. Do not use it for non-amebic parasitic infections.
Coding tip
Code the most specific amebic diagnosis documented, and query if the note only says “amebiasis” without enough detail.
