Interstitial Cystitis (IC) is a chronic bladder condition characterized by pelvic pain, frequent urination, and urgency. The ICD-10 code for Interstitial Cystitis is N30.10. In the previous coding system, ICD-9, the code for Interstitial Cystitis was 595.1. These codes are used by healthcare professionals for accurate diagnosis and billing purposes.
Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic condition characterized by recurring discomfort or pain in the bladder and pelvic region. The ICD-10 code for interstitial cystitis is N30.10. In ICD-10, codes beginning with "N" are used for diseases of the genitourinary system, and N30 specifically refers to diseases of the urinary system. The code N30.10 specifies interstitial cystitis without hematuria (blood in urine).
On the other hand, the corresponding ICD-9 code for interstitial cystitis is 595.1. In ICD-9, codes starting with "595" are used for inflammatory diseases of the bladder. The code 595.1 specifically represents interstitial cystitis.
It is important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred on October 1, 2015, so healthcare providers now primarily use ICD-10 codes for diagnosis and billing purposes. The transition to ICD-10 was necessary to provide more detailed and accurate coding, enabling better tracking of diseases, improved healthcare planning, and enhanced research capabilities.
Remember, it is always advisable to consult with a medical professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options for any health condition, including interstitial cystitis.
