ICD-10 Code B92 – Sequelae of Leprosy (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B92 – Sequelae of leprosy
What it is
B92 identifies long-term effects left after leprosy has been treated or is no longer active. Use it for residual problems, not for the original infection itself.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common residual findings may include chronic nerve damage, deformity, loss of sensation, or functional impairment related to prior leprosy.
When to use this code
Use B92 when the record states sequelae, late effects, or residual deficits from past leprosy. It is appropriate when the active disease is no longer being treated, but lasting complications remain. Code the residual condition as documented, and check for any additional codes if the chart specifies them.
Do not use for
Do not use B92 for active leprosy or when the note only describes a history of the disease without residual effects. Check documentation if the chart does not clearly link the current problem to prior leprosy.
Coding tip
Assign B92 only when the provider clearly documents a sequela of prior leprosy and identifies the residual manifestation.
