ICD-10 Code B90.8 – Sequelae of Tuberculosis of Other Organs (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B90.8 – Sequelae of tuberculosis of other organs
What it is
B90.8 identifies late effects left after tuberculosis has damaged organs other than the lungs. Use it when the active infection is no longer present, but residual problems remain.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Records may describe chronic organ dysfunction, scarring, or other residual findings attributed to prior tuberculosis rather than current active disease.
When to use this code
Use B90.8 when the provider documents sequelae from earlier tuberculosis involving an organ outside the respiratory system. It fits follow-up visits for lingering structural or functional impairment after the infection has resolved. Code the residual condition first when documented, and add B90.8 to show the cause.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for active tuberculosis, suspected tuberculosis, or routine screening. If the record does not clearly link the residual problem to prior TB, check documentation.
Coding tip
Assign B90.8 only when the chart explicitly states the current condition is a sequela of prior tuberculosis.
