B08.71 ICD-10-CM Code: Tanapox virus disease

B08.71 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for tanapox virus disease. Tanapox is a rare viral infection caused by a poxvirus that typically causes skin lesions and fever. It is primarily found in Central and West Africa and spreads through contact with infected animals or people. B08.71 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for certain infectious and parasitic diseases (a00-b99), within the section covering viral infections characterized by skin and mucous membrane lesions (b00-b09).

B08.71 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.

Verify documentation clearly states tanapox virus disease diagnosis, as this is a rare condition that may be confused with other poxviruses or skin conditions.
