Sequelae of respiratory and unspecified tuberculosis

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

What This Code Means

Long-term complications from tuberculosis that previously affected the lungs or other unspecified sites, with residual effects persisting after the infection has resolved.

Coding Tips

  • •This is the most commonly used sequelae code for TB; document the specific respiratory complications such as bronchiectasis, fibrosis, or emphysema
  • •Ensure the active TB infection is not present; if the patient has active TB, use codes from A15-A19 instead
