ICD-10 Code B66.2 – Dicroceliasis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide

The ICD-10 code for Dicroceliasis is B66.2.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B66.2 – Dicroceliasis

What it is

Dicroceliasis is an infection caused by the lancet liver fluke, a parasitic trematode that affects the biliary system. Use this code when documentation identifies Dicrocoelium infection or dicroceliasis.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Reported findings may include biliary or gastrointestinal symptoms, but confirmation depends on parasite identification or a documented clinical diagnosis.

When to use this code

Use B66.2 when the provider documents dicroceliasis, Dicrocoelium infection, or infection by the lancet liver fluke. Apply it for confirmed cases and for encounters focused on this parasitic diagnosis. If the record only mentions suspected exposure, check documentation before coding.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for unspecified helminth infections or other liver fluke diseases unless dicroceliasis is clearly documented. Do not assign it for exposure alone or for symptoms without a stated diagnosis.

Coding tip

Verify the exact parasite name in the chart; B66.2 is specific to dicroceliasis.
