Multiple papillomata and wet crab yaws

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

What This Code Means

This is a skin manifestation of yaws (a tropical infection caused by bacteria) where multiple wart-like growths appear on the skin, often in moist areas where skin surfaces rub together. The condition gets its name 'wet crab yaws' from the appearance of these growths resembling a crab's texture.

Coding Tips

  • •Yaws (A66.x codes) is a reportable infectious disease in most jurisdictions; verify local reporting requirements before finalizing the claim
  • •Ensure documentation specifies the stage and manifestation of yaws, as different A66 codes represent different clinical presentations (primary, secondary, tertiary, or latent stages)
