ICD10 code of Hiatus Hernia and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Hiatus Hernia? And the ICD9 code for Hiatus Hernia?
The ICD-10 code for Hiatus Hernia is K44. Hiatus hernia occurs when a part of the stomach pushes up into the chest through the diaphragm. It can cause symptoms like heartburn, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing. In the previous ICD-9 coding system, the code for Hiatus Hernia was 530.81. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential for managing this condition.
A hiatus hernia, also known as a hiatal hernia, is a condition where a portion of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. It is classified under the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) and has a specific code for diagnostic and billing purposes. The ICD-10 code for hiatus hernia is K44.9. This code falls under the category of Diseases of the Digestive System (K00-K95) and specifically refers to "Diaphragmatic hernia without obstruction or gangrene."
On the other hand, the ICD-9 code system, which was used prior to the implementation of ICD-10, has a different code for hiatus hernia. The ICD-9 code for hiatus hernia is 530.81. This code falls under the category of Diseases of the Digestive System (520-579) and specifically refers to "Esophageal reflux."
It is important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred on October 1, 2015, and ICD-10 is now the standard coding system used for medical diagnoses and procedures. The implementation of ICD-10 allows for more detailed and specific coding, providing a more accurate representation of a patient's condition.
