Hello, I need an ICD 10 code for Tick bite, Dr. not stating that this is Tick bite fever although patient has a fever. Does Dr. need to state that this is related ?
Thanks,
Carol

Yes, provider would need to link the tick bit to the fever, you cant assume.
Per the index
Bite > insect - see Bite, by site, superficial, insect

Use the index for diseases and code and go to bite then superficial then site. Then for external cause go to bitten by and then arthropod.
