ICD-10 code for skin lesions pinta

The ICD-10-CM code for skin lesions pinta is A67.2 (Late lesions of pinta). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on A67.2.

Within A67 (pinta [carate]), A67.2 is specifically for late lesions of pinta. Related codes cover primary lesions of pinta (A67.0), intermediate lesions of pinta (A67.1), mixed lesions of pinta (A67.3) and pinta, unspecified (A67.9).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 867 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 2.1859), DRG 868 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 1.0235) and DRG 869 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6787), in MDC 18 (Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, Systemic or Unspecified Sites), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
