ICD10 code of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) and ICD9 code

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is a genetic disorder that affects the adrenal glands, leading to an impaired production of certain hormones. This condition is typically diagnosed in infancy or early childhood and can have varying degrees of severity.

In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the specific code for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is E25.0. This code falls under the category of "Adrenogenital disorders" and is further classified as a "Congenital adrenal hyperplasia." It is important to note that the ICD-10 code E25.0 is a general code for CAH and does not specify the specific type or severity of the condition.

In the previous edition, the ICD-9 code for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia was 255.2. This code was categorized as "Disorders of the adrenal glands" and specifically referred to "Adrenogenital disorders." Similar to ICD-10, the ICD-9 code did not differentiate between different types or severity levels of CAH.

It is crucial to accurately assign the correct ICD code for CAH, as it helps healthcare providers and insurance companies in tracking and managing patient care. The ICD codes provide a standardized system for recording and reporting diagnoses, facilitating communication between healthcare professionals and ensuring appropriate reimbursement.

Please note that while I strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, it is always recommended to consult a healthcare professional or reference the official coding guidelines for the most current and specific coding information.
