What This Code Means
A67.9 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for pinta, unspecified. Pinta is a rare infectious skin disease caused by a spirochete bacterium that causes discolored patches on the skin, primarily affecting people in Central and South America. This code is used when the specific type or stage of pinta is not documented. A67.9 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for certain infectious and parasitic diseases (a00-b99), within the section covering other spirochetal diseases (a65-a69).
A67.9 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.
Pinta is a reportable disease in many jurisdictions; verify local reporting requirements when assigning this code.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for A67.9 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
