Borderline leprosy

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

What This Code Means

Borderline leprosy is a form of Hansen's disease (leprosy) that falls between the tuberculoid and lepromatous types, characterized by an unstable immune response to the bacteria that causes leprosy. Patients with this form may experience skin lesions and nerve damage of varying severity.

Coding Tips

  • •Borderline leprosy (A30.3) is an intermediate classification; ensure documentation clearly indicates the borderline form rather than tuberculoid (A30.2) or lepromatous (A30.4) leprosy
  • •This is a reportable disease in most jurisdictions; verify local public health reporting requirements and consider documenting the anatomical location and extent of lesions for complete coding
