Miliary tuberculosis

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 5 more specific codes instead:

  • A19.0 Acute miliary tuberculosis of a single specified site
  • A19.1 Acute miliary tuberculosis of multiple sites
  • A19.2 Acute miliary tuberculosis, unspecified
  • A19.8 Other miliary tuberculosis
  • A19.9 Miliary tuberculosis, unspecified

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

  1. FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Miliary tuberculosis
