ICD10 code of Hajdu-Cheney Syndrome and ICD9 code

Hajdu-Cheney Syndrome (HCS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple systems in the body. It is characterized by skeletal abnormalities, particularly the thinning of bones in the hands and feet, as well as other features such as dental problems, short stature, and joint hypermobility. Although there is no cure for HCS, management focuses on addressing individual symptoms and providing supportive care.

In terms of medical coding, the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for Hajdu-Cheney Syndrome. The ICD-10 code for HCS is Q87.1. This code falls under Chapter 17: Congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities, and is further categorized under Q80-Q89: Other congenital malformations.

On the other hand, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) is an older coding system that has been replaced by ICD-10. However, for the purpose of historical reference, the ICD-9 code for Hajdu-Cheney Syndrome was 756.59. This code fell under Chapter 17: Congenital anomalies, and was classified under subcategory 756.5: Other congenital musculoskeletal anomalies.

It is important to note that as of October 1, 2015, the healthcare industry transitioned from ICD-9 to ICD-10 coding system for improved accuracy and specificity in medical documentation and billing. Therefore, healthcare professionals now primarily use the ICD-10 code Q87.1 to identify and classify cases of Hajdu-Cheney Syndrome.
