ICD-10 Code B38.7 – Disseminated coccidioidomycosis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B38.7 – Disseminated coccidioidomycosis
What it is
B38.7 identifies coccidioidomycosis that has spread beyond the lungs to other body sites. Use it when the infection is documented as disseminated, not limited to a primary pulmonary illness.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Disseminated disease may involve skin, bones, joints, or the central nervous system, and may be described with systemic or multi-organ involvement.
When to use this code
Use B38.7 when the provider documents disseminated coccidioidomycosis, extrapulmonary spread, or infection involving multiple organs. It is appropriate when the record clearly shows disease beyond the lungs. If the note only states coccidioidomycosis without spread, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for uncomplicated pulmonary coccidioidomycosis or for a history of infection without active dissemination. Check documentation if the record is limited to exposure, screening, or an unspecified fungal infection.
Coding tip
Confirm that the provider explicitly documents dissemination or extrapulmonary sites before assigning B38.7.
