Other forms of leprosy

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

What This Code Means

This code represents uncommon or atypical forms of leprosy (Hansen's disease) that don't fit into the standard tuberculoid, lepromatous, or borderline classifications. It's used when a patient has leprosy with unusual clinical presentations or mixed characteristics.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code only when the leprosy presentation doesn't clearly match codes A30.0-A30.7; always verify the clinical documentation specifies an 'other' or atypical form
  • •Remember to include the appropriate 5th character to specify the site of involvement (0=unspecified, 1=eye, 2=ear, 3=kidney, 4=nerve, 5=skin, 9=other)
