A93.8 vs B08
A93.8 (Other specified arthropod-borne viral fevers) compared with B08 (Other viral infections characterized by skin and mucous membrane lesions, not elsewhere classified), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.
Can these codes be reported together?
No — do not report together. B08 carries an Excludes1 note covering A93.8: “vesicular stomatitis virus disease (A93.8)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
