B90.0
BillableSequelae of central nervous system tuberculosis
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
Long-term complications or residual effects of tuberculosis that previously affected the brain and spinal cord.
Coding Tips
- •This code indicates a history of CNS tuberculosis with current sequelae; document the specific residual condition (e.g., hydrocephalus, paralysis)
- •Sequelae codes are used when the acute infection has resolved but complications persist; ensure the active TB infection is not still present
