Borderline tuberculoid leprosy

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

What This Code Means

Borderline tuberculoid leprosy is a form of leprosy (Hansen's disease) that falls between the tuberculoid and lepromatous types, characterized by moderate immune response to the bacteria that causes leprosy. Patients typically have a limited number of skin lesions and nerve involvement.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify the specific type of leprosy documented in the clinical record, as A30 codes distinguish between different leprosy classifications (tuberculoid, borderline tuberculoid, borderline, borderline lepromatous, and lepromatous)
  • •Leprosy is a reportable disease in most jurisdictions; ensure proper documentation and reporting requirements are met when coding this diagnosis
