Tuberculoid leprosy

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Tuberculoid leprosy is a form of Hansen's disease (leprosy) caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae, characterized by a strong immune response that limits the spread of infection and results in few skin lesions and nerve damage. This is the least contagious form of leprosy.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify the specific type of leprosy documented in the clinical record, as tuberculoid leprosy (A30.1) differs from lepromatous (A30.0) and borderline forms, which have different treatment protocols and prognoses
  • •Ensure documentation specifies the anatomical sites affected (skin lesions, nerves) as this may require additional codes for complications such as nerve damage or ulceration
