A30.9Leprosy, unspecified

A30.9 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for leprosy, unspecified. It belongs to category A30 (leprosy [Hansen's disease]), block A30-A49 (other bacterial diseases) and chapter 1 (certain infectious and parasitic diseases). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within A30, choose A30.9 (Leprosy, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: indeterminate leprosy (A30.0), tuberculoid leprosy (A30.1), borderline tuberculoid leprosy (A30.2), borderline leprosy (A30.3), borderline lepromatous leprosy (A30.4), lepromatous leprosy (A30.5) and other forms of leprosy (A30.8).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 867 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 2.1859), DRG 868 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 1.0235) and DRG 869 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6787), in MDC 18 (Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, Systemic or Unspecified Sites), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 030.9 (leprosy, unspecified).
