About coding meninges tuberculoma
The ICD-10-CM code for meninges tuberculoma is A17.1 (Meningeal tuberculoma).
Within A17 (tuberculosis of nervous system), A17.1 is specifically for meningeal tuberculoma. Related codes cover tuberculous meningitis (A17.0), other tuberculosis of nervous system (A17.8) and unspecified (A17.9).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of A17.1, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: tuberculoma of brain and spinal cord (A17.81).
As a secondary diagnosis it is an MCC (major complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the highest-paying "with MCC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
