ICD10 code of Celiac Disease and ICD9 code

Celiac Disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder affecting the small intestine, triggered by the ingestion of gluten. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the specific code for Celiac Disease is K90.0. This code falls under the category of "Coeliac disease," which includes various subcategories to specify the condition further.

On the other hand, in the older version of the classification system, the ICD-9 code for Celiac Disease was 579.0. This code was used to identify non-tropical sprue, which is the previous term used to describe Celiac Disease before the updated terminology.

It is essential to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred in October 2015 to provide a more detailed and comprehensive classification system for medical conditions. The updated ICD-10 codes offer healthcare professionals a more accurate means of documenting and coding various diseases, including Celiac Disease.

Please consult a qualified healthcare professional or medical coding specialist for precise and up-to-date information regarding the coding of Celiac Disease or any other medical condition.
