ICD-10 Code A67.0 – Primary lesions of pinta (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A67.0 – Primary lesions of pinta
What it is
A67.0 identifies the initial, primary skin lesions of pinta, a nonvenereal treponemal infection. Use it when documentation specifically states primary pinta lesions rather than later-stage disease.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include localized skin lesions at the site of inoculation, often early in the course of infection. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents primary lesions of pinta, or early localized pinta infection. It fits cases where the record distinguishes the initial skin stage from secondary or late manifestations. If the stage is unclear, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use A67.0 for other treponemal infections, generalized rash, or later pinta stages unless primary lesions are documented. Check documentation when the diagnosis is nonspecific.
Coding tip
Code only when the chart explicitly names primary pinta lesions; otherwise query for stage and site details.
