About B90.2

B90.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for sequelae of tuberculosis of bones and joints. It belongs to category B90 (sequelae of tuberculosis), block B90-B94 (sequelae of infectious and parasitic 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 B90 (sequelae of tuberculosis), B90.2 is specifically for sequelae of tuberculosis of bones and joints. Related codes cover central nervous system tuberculosis (B90.0), genitourinary tuberculosis (B90.1), of other organs (B90.8) and respiratory and unspecified tuberculosis (B90.9).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 564 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 1.4908), DRG 565 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 0.9783) and DRG 566 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7378), in MDC 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), 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 is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.

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 137.3 (late effects of tuberculosis of bones and joints).
