ICD-10-CM Codes for Tuberculosis (TB)
The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is designed to promote international comparability in the collection, processing, classification, and presentation of mortality statistics. The World Health Organization (WHO) owns and publishes the classification.
In addition to the main ICD, WHO authorizes the U.S. government to develop a modification for classifying morbidity from inpatient and outpatient records, physician offices, and most National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) surveys. This modification is known as the International Classification of Diseases, Clinical Modification (ICD-CM).
As CDC and health departments work with primary care providers to expand targeted testing and treatment for latent TB infection (LTBI), it is important to better distinguish between initial testing for LTBI and evaluation/screening for TB disease in medical records. From 2017-2018, CDC worked with state and local TB programs and NCHS to develop new and modify existing ICD-CM codes, which will allow healthcare providers to improve clinical documentation related to LTBI and TB disease.

The new and modified codes improve the ability to collect and use data for evidence-based decision-making at both the patient and population levels, as well as monitor LTBI testing trends outside of the health department setting.
