A18.18
BillableTuberculosis of other female 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 female reproductive organs other than the fallopian tubes or endometrium, such as the ovaries or vagina. It represents an extrapulmonary form of tuberculosis that has spread to the female genital tract.
Coding Tips
- •Verify documentation specifies which female genital organ is affected (ovary, vagina, etc.) to ensure accurate coding and rule out more specific sites like fallopian tubes (A18.17) or endometrium (A18.16)
- •Confirm tuberculosis is confirmed (not suspected) and document whether this is drug-susceptible or drug-resistant TB, as this may require additional codes for treatment resistance
