The ICD10 code for Factor V Deficiency is D68.1. In the ICD9 coding system, the corresponding code is 286.5. Factor V Deficiency is a rare blood clotting disorder caused by a deficiency of Factor V, a protein involved in the clotting process. It can lead to excessive bleeding and increased risk of abnormal blood clots. Proper diagnosis and management are crucial for individuals with this condition.
Factor V deficiency, also known as parahemophilia, is a rare inherited blood disorder characterized by impaired blood clotting due to a deficiency of factor V, a protein involved in the clotting process. The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for this condition, which is D68.1. This code falls under the broader category of "other coagulation defects," which includes various clotting disorders.
On the other hand, the previous version of the classification system, the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9), used a different coding system. The ICD-9 code for factor V deficiency is 286.5. This code was used to identify disorders related to "deficiencies of coagulation factors," and it specifically represents factor V deficiency.
It is important to note that the ICD-10 coding system allows for greater specificity and detail compared to the older ICD-9 system. This transition to ICD-10 has facilitated more accurate and comprehensive coding of various medical conditions, including factor V deficiency. Proper coding helps healthcare providers, researchers, and insurance companies track and analyze specific conditions, leading to better understanding, treatment, and reimbursement processes.
