ICD-10 Code A30.1 – Tuberculoid Leprosy (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide

The ICD-10 code for Tuberculoid leprosy is A30.1.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A30.1 – Tuberculoid leprosy

What it is

A30.1 identifies tuberculoid leprosy, a form of Hansen disease that mainly affects the skin and peripheral nerves. It is typically a localized, paucibacillary infection with strong host immune response.

Clinical signs

Common findings include one or a few hypopigmented or reddish skin lesions with reduced sensation and possible peripheral nerve thickening. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use A30.1 when the provider documents tuberculoid leprosy or tuberculoid Hansen disease. Code it when the record supports this specific clinical form rather than leprosy in general. If the note only says “leprosy” without subtype, check documentation.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for indeterminate, borderline, lepromatous, or unspecified leprosy. Also avoid it when the diagnosis is only suspected or the subtype is not confirmed in the record.

Coding tip

Match the code to the documented leprosy subtype, and query the provider if the chart does not clearly state tuberculoid disease.
