How about 293.81 (psychotic disorder with delusions in conditions classified elsewhere); code first the underlying disease (parasitic disease NOS) 136.9.

Code order: 136.9, 293.81

Hope this helps,

This sequence is coding delusions caused by parasitosis. Delusional parasitosis, sometimes called delusions of parasitosis or Ekbom's syndrome is a psychosis wherwe the patient thinks theyt are infested by parasites but realy are not. The ICD-9 index lists delusions, parasitosis - 300.29.
