Sequelae of leprosy

In Sequelae of infectious and parasitic diseases (B90-B94), chapter 1: Certain Infectious and Parasitic Diseases

  • B92 is billable and valid on claims for FY 2027. If the record has more detail, check the other codes under B90-B94 below.
  • As a secondary diagnosis it is not a CC or MCC, so it doesn't raise the MS-DRG payment.
  • Doesn't count toward a Medicare Advantage risk score (no HCC in V28).
  • AHRQ's Chronic Condition Indicator classes it as not chronic (an acute or short-term condition).
  • Exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting. (POA Exempt list)

Also indexed as: Sequelae, Hansen's disease; Sequelae, leprosy

About the condition

Mycobacterial Infections

Mycobacteria are a type of germ. There are many different kinds. The most common one causes tuberculosis. Another one causes leprosy. Still others cause infections that are called atypical mycobacterial infections. They aren't "typical" because they don't cause tuberculosis. But they can still harm people, especially people with other problems that affect their immunity, such as AIDS.
