Asherson’s Syndrome, also known as Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome, is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by blood clot formation in multiple organs. The ICD10 code for this condition is D68.51, while the corresponding ICD9 code is 286.8. These codes are used for medical billing and documentation purposes to identify and classify the syndrome.
Asherson's Syndrome, also known as Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome, is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by the formation of blood clots in multiple organs, leading to their rapid dysfunction. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), provides a specific code for this condition.
The ICD-10 code for Asherson's Syndrome/Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome is D68.51. This code falls under the category of "Other primary thrombophilia" in the ICD-10 coding system. It is important to note that the ICD-10 code D68.51 is specific to the syndrome and accurately identifies this particular condition in medical records and billing.
On the other hand, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), which was used prior to the introduction of ICD-10, also had a code for Asherson's Syndrome/Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome. The ICD-9 code for this condition is 286.6. This code falls under the category of "Other and unspecified coagulation defects" in the ICD-9 coding system.
Both ICD-10 code D68.51 and ICD-9 code 286.6 are essential for accurately documenting and tracking cases of Asherson's Syndrome/Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome in healthcare settings. These codes facilitate effective communication between healthcare providers, researchers, and insurance companies, ensuring proper diagnosis, treatment, and reimbursement for patients with this rare autoimmune disorder.
