A18.15
BillableTuberculosis of other male genital organs
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
This code describes a tuberculosis infection affecting male reproductive organs other than the prostate or seminal vesicles, such as the testes, epididymis, or vas deferens. It represents an extrapulmonary form of tuberculosis that has spread to the genital tract.
Coding Tips
- •Verify documentation specifies which male genital organ is affected (testis, epididymis, vas deferens, etc.) to ensure accurate coding and consider if more specific codes apply
- •Confirm tuberculosis is confirmed (not suspected) and document whether this is drug-susceptible or drug-resistant TB, as this may affect code selection and treatment protocols
