Help! I work in a dermatology clinic and have several questions about ICD10 coding for multiple insect bites.
The current ICD9 code 919.4 (insect bite, nonvenomous, w/o mention of infection; other multiple and unspecified sites) when I use the GEM or other crosswalk it gives me ICD10 code T07 (unspecified multiple injuries)
Is this correct? I know the type of injury (insect bite) just multiple sites. I would think that the correct codes would be to code each location of the insect bite (SXX)
