ICD10 code of Gillespie syndrome and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Gillespie syndrome? And the ICD9 code for Gillespie syndrome?
Gillespie syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the combination of bilateral aniridia (absence of the iris) and cerebellar ataxia (lack of muscle coordination). The ICD10 code for Gillespie syndrome is Q13.1. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD9 code for Gillespie syndrome as it was replaced by ICD10. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and coding information.
Gillespie syndrome, also known as aniridia-mental retardation syndrome (AMR), is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the absence or partial absence of the iris in the eyes, intellectual disability, and various other developmental abnormalities. Although I am not a healthcare professional, I can provide some general information regarding the coding system used to classify medical conditions.
The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) is the current system used worldwide for coding diagnoses. Unfortunately, since Gillespie syndrome is an extremely rare condition, it does not have a specific ICD-10 code dedicated to it. The ICD-10 coding system assigns unique alphanumeric codes to various medical conditions, however, certain rare disorders may not have a specific code due to their low prevalence.
In terms of the older coding system, the ICD-9, which was used prior to the implementation of ICD-10, there was also no unique code for Gillespie syndrome. However, it is worth noting that ICD-9 may have codes for some of the individual symptoms or manifestations associated with Gillespie syndrome, such as intellectual disability (ICD-9 code 317-319) or aniridia (ICD-9 code 743.46).
It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional or medical coder to obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the coding of Gillespie syndrome. They will be able to provide specific guidance on how to document and code this condition effectively for medical records and billing purposes.
