B92 — Sequelae of leprosy
B92 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for sequelae of leprosy. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Other codes that can never be billed with B92
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at B92. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading B92 alone.
- A30Leprosy [Hansen's disease]
Risk adjustment
B92 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Medicare coverage
B92 is named in 1 Medicare coverage policy — 1 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.

How B92 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to B92.
