ICD10 code: Dysequilibrium Syndrome - R26.81
ICD9 code: Dysequilibrium Syndrome - 781.2
Dysequilibrium syndrome, also known as disequilibrium syndrome, is a medical condition characterized by unsteadiness or imbalance while standing or walking. It can occur due to various underlying causes, such as inner ear disturbances, neurological conditions, or musculoskeletal issues. The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), provides a specific code for dysequilibrium syndrome, which is R26.81. This code falls under the chapter "Symptoms, signs, and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified" in the ICD-10 coding system.
On the other hand, the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9), which was previously used before the implementation of ICD-10, did not have a specific code for dysequilibrium syndrome. However, certain related codes might have been used to describe the symptoms or underlying condition contributing to the dysequilibrium syndrome.
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or medical coder for accurate coding and to ensure appropriate reimbursement and proper documentation of the condition.
