The ICD-10 code for Common Variable Immunodeficiency is D83.9. This code is used to classify and document this specific immunodeficiency disorder. In the previous ICD-9 system, the corresponding code for Common Variable Immunodeficiency was 279.06. These codes are essential for accurate medical coding and billing purposes.
Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) is a primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by low levels of immunoglobulins and impaired antibody production. The ICD-10 code for CVID is D83.9. This code falls under the chapter "Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism" in the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10).
In contrast, the ICD-9 code for CVID is 279.06. ICD-9 is the previous version of the ICD coding system, which was replaced by ICD-10 in October 2015. The ICD-9 code for CVID falls under the category "Other disorders involving the immune mechanism, not elsewhere classified" in the ICD-9 coding system.
It is important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 was done to provide more specific and detailed coding for diseases and conditions. ICD-10 codes allow for better tracking, analysis, and understanding of various health conditions, including Common Variable Immunodeficiency. These codes are used by healthcare professionals, researchers, and administrators for various purposes, such as billing, statistical analysis, and public health monitoring.
