Incontinentia Pigmenti (IP) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by skin abnormalities and other developmental issues. The ICD-10 code for Incontinentia Pigmenti is Q82.4. In the previous coding system, the ICD-9 code for this condition was 757.33. These codes are used by healthcare professionals for accurate diagnosis and billing purposes.
Incontinentia Pigmenti (IP) is a rare genetic disorder that primarily affects the skin, hair, teeth, and central nervous system. The ICD-10 code for Incontinentia Pigmenti is Q82.4. This code falls under the category of "Other Congenital Malformations of Skin" in the ICD-10 coding system. It is important to note that ICD-10 is the current coding system used for medical diagnoses, replacing the previous ICD-9 system.
ICD-9, on the other hand, uses a different coding system. The corresponding code for Incontinentia Pigmenti in ICD-9 is 757.33. This code falls under the category of "Other Disorders of Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue" in the ICD-9 coding system.
Incontinentia Pigmenti is characterized by a distinct pattern of skin abnormalities, including blistering, rashes, and pigmentation changes. Additionally, it can cause dental abnormalities, hair loss, and neurological symptoms such as seizures or intellectual disabilities. The condition is caused by mutations in the IKBKG gene and is inherited in an X-linked dominant manner.
It is crucial for healthcare professionals to accurately code and document diagnoses using the appropriate ICD codes to ensure proper communication, billing, and research purposes.
