ICD-10 Code B65.0 – Schistosomiasis due to Schistosoma haematobium [urinary schistosomiasis] (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B65.0 – Schistosomiasis due to Schistosoma haematobium [urinary schistosomiasis]
What it is
B65.0 identifies urinary schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma haematobium. This parasitic infection primarily involves the urinary tract and is coded when documentation specifies this species.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Standard references describe urinary symptoms such as hematuria, dysuria, or bladder irritation, but you should code only what is documented.
When to use this code
Use B65.0 when the provider documents Schistosoma haematobium infection, urinary schistosomiasis, or a confirmed diagnosis linked to this organism. It also fits encounters for active disease, evaluation, or follow-up when the diagnosis remains relevant. Check documentation if the species is not specified.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for schistosomiasis caused by other species or for nonspecific schistosomiasis without urinary involvement. If the record only says “parasite infection,” check documentation for the exact organism.
Coding tip
Verify the species name in the chart; B65.0 requires Schistosoma haematobium specifically.
