Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ICD-10 code for pneumocystosis?
The ICD-10-CM code for pneumocystosis is B59. The full clinical description is "Pneumocystosis". B59 is a billable/specific code that can be used on insurance claims and medical billing.
What does ICD-10 code B59 mean?
ICD-10-CM code B59 represents “Pneumocystosis”. It is classified under Chapter 1: Certain Infectious and Parasitic Diseases and is a billable/specific code that can be used on a claim.
Is B59 a billable code?
Yes, B59 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code and can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a medical claim.
What chapter is B59 in?
B59 is in Chapter 1: Certain Infectious and Parasitic Diseases (codes A00-B99).
What codes cannot be used with B59?
B59 has Excludes1 notes indicating codes that cannot be used together with it, including: certain localized infections - see body system-related chapters; amebiasis (A06.-); other protozoal intestinal diseases (A07.-).
Are additional codes required with B59?
Yes, when using B59, also report: resistance to antimicrobial drugs (Z16.-).
What SNOMED CT codes does B59 map to?
B59 maps to 18 SNOMED CT concepts: 1177022006, 275504005, 1177059007, 240632000, 414171001, and 13 more. SNOMED CT is a clinical terminology used in electronic health records.
What are the UMLS CUIs for B59?
B59 is linked to 3 UMLS Concept Unique Identifiers: C1535939, C5779637, C6007053. The UMLS (Unified Medical Language System) integrates multiple biomedical vocabularies maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
How does B59 relate to ICF functioning codes?
ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) codes describe how conditions like pneumocystosis affect a person's functioning — body functions, activities, participation, and environmental factors. AutoICD provides ICF Core Sets for 12+ conditions and can map clinical text to ICF categories automatically. Browse the ICF directory to explore functioning codes.
What is the ICD-11 equivalent of B59?
There is no direct ICD-11 mapping available for B59 in the WHO crosswalk tables. This may mean the concept is classified differently in ICD-11. Use the ICD-10 to ICD-11 converter to search for related codes.
