Latent yaws

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

What This Code Means

Latent yaws is a stage of yaws infection where the disease is present in the body but shows no active symptoms or signs. The person can still transmit the infection to others during this stage.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation specifies 'latent' stage to distinguish from active yaws manifestations (A66.0-A66.7)
  • •Confirm yaws diagnosis is documented; latent yaws requires prior or concurrent yaws infection history
