ICD10 code of Cold Urticaria and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Cold Urticaria? And the ICD9 code for Cold Urticaria?
Cold urticaria is a type of physical urticaria characterized by the development of hives or welts on the skin after exposure to cold temperatures. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the specific code for cold urticaria is L50.8. This code falls under the category of "Urticaria and erythema" (L50-L54) and is classified as "Other urticaria." This code is used by healthcare professionals to accurately diagnose and document cases of cold urticaria.
In contrast, in the previous edition of the classification system, ICD-9, there was not a specific code for cold urticaria. Instead, it was grouped under a broader category of "Other urticaria and angioedema" (ICD-9 code 708.9). This category encompassed various types of urticaria and angioedema that did not have specific codes assigned to them.
It is important for healthcare providers to accurately assign the appropriate ICD code for cold urticaria as it helps in tracking and analyzing the prevalence and incidence of this condition. Additionally, correct coding ensures appropriate billing and reimbursement for medical services provided to patients with cold urticaria.
