Ivemark Syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of certain organs on the left side of the body. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD10 code assigned for Ivemark Syndrome. In the previous coding system, ICD9, it was classified under the code 759.89, which encompassed other specified congenital anomalies. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate coding.
Ivemark Syndrome, also known as asplenia with cardiovascular anomalies, is a rare congenital disorder characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of the spleen, as well as various cardiovascular abnormalities. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), Ivemark Syndrome is classified under Q89.8, which encompasses other specified congenital malformations. The code Q89.8 is used to identify conditions that are not specifically listed elsewhere in the ICD-10 system.
On the other hand, in the previous version of the classification system, the ICD-9 code for Ivemark Syndrome was 759.0. This code falls under the category of "Congenital anomalies of circulatory system," which broadly includes various cardiovascular malformations. However, it is important to note that the ICD-9 code system is no longer in use and has been replaced by the more comprehensive ICD-10 system.
It is crucial for healthcare professionals to accurately assign the appropriate ICD-10 code for Ivemark Syndrome when documenting and coding patient diagnoses. Proper coding ensures efficient communication among healthcare providers, facilitates accurate medical records, and enables appropriate reimbursement for medical services provided.
