Refractory Celiac Disease is a condition where individuals with celiac disease do not respond to a gluten-free diet. The ICD-10 code for Refractory Celiac Disease is K90.0. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD-9 code for Refractory Celiac Disease as it was replaced by ICD-10 codes. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and coding information.
The ICD-10 code for Refractory Celiac Disease is K90.0. This code is used to classify cases where individuals continue to experience symptoms and intestinal damage despite following a strict gluten-free diet for an extended period of time. Refractory Celiac Disease is a complication of Celiac Disease, an autoimmune disorder triggered by the consumption of gluten.
In contrast, the ICD-9 code for Refractory Celiac Disease is 579.09. This code was used prior to the implementation of the ICD-10 coding system. It classified cases where individuals had persistent symptoms and intestinal damage despite adherence to a gluten-free diet.
Both coding systems are used by healthcare professionals to accurately document and classify medical conditions. The transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 allows for more specific and detailed coding, enabling better understanding of the disease and improved patient care. It is essential for healthcare providers to use the correct codes to ensure accurate documentation and billing for services provided.
