ICD-10 Code A67.1 – Intermediate lesions of pinta (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A67.1 – Intermediate lesions of pinta
What it is
A67.1 identifies the intermediate stage of pinta, a chronic treponemal skin infection. Use it when documentation specifically describes intermediate lesions rather than early or late disease.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Intermediate lesions are typically skin findings in the course of pinta, and may follow earlier lesions or precede late pigment changes.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents intermediate lesions of pinta, or clearly identifies the intermediate stage of the infection. Code it from the documented diagnosis, not from a nonspecific rash or skin discoloration alone.
If the note only says “pinta” without stage, check documentation for the specific form. Do not assume intermediate disease unless the record supports it.
Do not use for
Do not use A67.1 for early or late pinta lesions, or for unspecified pinta when the stage is not documented. Check documentation if the skin findings are attributed to another condition.
Coding tip
Confirm the stage in the assessment or impression before assigning A67.1.
