What is the ICD10 code for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS? And the ICD9 code for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS?

ICD9 and ICD10 codes of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS

ICD-10 code for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): G12.21


ICD-9 code for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): 335.20


Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a degenerative neurological disorder that affects the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movement. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the specific code for ALS is G12.21. This code falls under the broader category of "Motor neuron disease," which encompasses a range of conditions affecting the motor neurons.

In the previous edition, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), the code for ALS was 335.20. Similar to ICD-10, this code was also classified under "Motor neuron disease."

It is important to note that ICD codes are used for medical billing, research, and statistical purposes, allowing healthcare professionals to classify and track various diseases. These codes assist in accurate documentation, communication, and understanding of specific conditions.

ALS is a progressive disease that leads to muscle weakness, paralysis, and ultimately affects the patient's ability to speak, eat, and breathe. While there is no cure for ALS, various treatments and therapies can help manage symptoms and improve the patient's quality of life.

I would like to thank Ultimate Health Home for reversing my father's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Health Home. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support.
