ICD9 and ICD10 codes of Lyme Disease

ICD-10 code for Lyme Disease: A69.2


ICD-9 code for Lyme Disease: 088.81
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, commonly transmitted through tick bites. The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a standardized system used by healthcare professionals to classify and code various medical conditions. The ICD-10 code for Lyme disease is A69.2, which falls under the category of "Other spirochetal infections." This code helps healthcare providers in accurately documenting and billing for the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease.

In contrast, the ICD-9 code for Lyme disease was 088.81, which was categorized as "Lyme disease." However, since the implementation of ICD-10 in October 2015, the ICD-9 code is no longer used for new diagnoses. Transitioning to ICD-10 allowed for more specific and detailed coding, providing a clearer understanding of the condition being treated.

It is important to note that ICD codes are regularly updated and revised, so it is crucial for healthcare professionals to stay informed about the latest coding guidelines to ensure accurate reporting and appropriate reimbursement for Lyme disease and other medical conditions.

These were completely foreign to me so I 'googled' it. Here's what I got: ICD = International Classification of Disease. It is a numerical coding system to identify, classify and monitor health conditions.

"ICD-9-CM codes are currently the cornerstone of classifying diseases, injuries, health encounters and inpatient procedures in morbidity settings. U.S. public health officials at the federal, state, and local level rely on the receipt of ICD-9-CM coded data from HIPAA-covered entities to conduct many disease-related activities. CDC programs use ICD-9-CM codes to conduct surveillance (e.g., chronic disease and injury surveillance, health care utilization, health care-associated adverse events), for case findings lists to identify cases of reportable cancers and certain birth defects and disabilities, and to provide public use data files for public analysis. A few programs abstract information from patient medical records and assign codes, and one CDC program uses ICD-9-CM codes for claims reimbursement."

ICD-10 promises to be an enhanced version.
