What is the ICD10 code for Lipedema? And the ICD9 code for Lipedema?

ICD9 and ICD10 codes of Lipedema

The ICD-10 code for Lipedema is E88.2. Lipedema is a chronic disorder characterized by the abnormal accumulation of fat cells, primarily in the lower extremities. It predominantly affects women and can cause pain, swelling, and tenderness in the affected areas. The corresponding ICD-9 code for Lipedema is 272.6. Proper diagnosis and management of Lipedema are crucial to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
Lipedema is a medical condition characterized by the abnormal accumulation of fat cells, primarily in the lower extremities. The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) provides specific codes to classify lipedema diagnoses. The appropriate ICD-10 code for lipedema is E88.2. This code falls under the category of "Metabolic disorders" and further specifies the condition as "Lipedema."

On the other hand, the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) was used prior to the implementation of ICD-10. The corresponding code for lipedema in ICD-9 is 272.6. This code is classified under "Disorders of lipoid metabolism" and denotes the condition as "Other lipidoses."

It's worth mentioning that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred on October 1, 2015. Since then, healthcare providers and institutions have been required to use ICD-10 codes for billing, documentation, and statistical purposes. The implementation of ICD-10 allows for more detailed and accurate classification of diseases, facilitating better analysis, research, and patient care.
