ICD10 code of HFE hereditary haemochromatosis and ICD9 code

Hereditary hemochromatosis, also known as HFE hereditary hemochromatosis, is a genetic disorder characterized by excess iron absorption and deposition in various organs, leading to iron overload. The ICD-10 code for this condition is E83.110. This code falls under the category of "Other iron overload disorders," specifically referring to hereditary hemochromatosis caused by mutations in the HFE gene.

In contrast, the ICD-9 code for HFE hereditary hemochromatosis is 275.03. This code is found within the category of "Disorders of iron metabolism," which encompasses various conditions related to abnormal iron levels in the body.

It is important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred on October 1, 2015, as a means to provide more detailed and accurate coding for medical conditions. ICD-10 offers a broader range of codes and greater specificity compared to ICD-9, allowing for better tracking and management of diseases.

Understanding the appropriate ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes for hereditary hemochromatosis is crucial for healthcare professionals to accurately document and code patient diagnoses, ensuring proper treatment and reimbursement processes.
