ICD10 code of Familial Hypercholesterolemia and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Familial Hypercholesterolemia? And the ICD9 code for Familial Hypercholesterolemia?
The ICD-10 code for Familial Hypercholesterolemia is E78.01. This code is used to classify the condition characterized by high levels of cholesterol in the blood due to genetic factors. In the ICD-9 coding system, the corresponding code for Familial Hypercholesterolemia is 272.0. These codes are essential for accurate medical record keeping and billing purposes.
Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder characterized by abnormally high cholesterol levels, leading to increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the code for FH is E78.01. This code specifically denotes "familial hypercholesterolemia" and helps healthcare providers identify and document this condition in medical records.
In the previous version, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), the code for FH was 272.0. However, it's important to note that ICD-9 is no longer used for medical coding purposes, as it has been replaced by ICD-10 since October 2015. The shift to ICD-10 allows for more detailed and specific coding, facilitating improved accuracy in diagnosis and treatment.
By using the appropriate ICD-10 code, healthcare professionals can effectively communicate and classify cases of Familial Hypercholesterolemia, enabling better management and research opportunities for this inherited disorder.
