B90.2
BillableSequelae of tuberculosis of bones and joints
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
Permanent damage or complications from tuberculosis that previously affected the bones and joints, such as joint destruction or spinal deformity.
Coding Tips
- •Include documentation of the specific bones or joints affected and the nature of the residual damage (e.g., ankylosis, deformity)
- •Distinguish between active TB of bones and joints (A18.0x) and sequelae; sequelae codes apply only after the infection has resolved
