ICD10 code of Multiple Sclerosis and ICD9 code

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for MS, which is G35. Multiple Sclerosis falls under the category of "Demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system" in ICD-10.

On the other hand, the 9th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) also had a specific code for Multiple Sclerosis. The ICD-9 code for MS was 340. Multiple Sclerosis was classified under "Disseminated sclerosis" in the ICD-9 coding system.

Both ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes for Multiple Sclerosis are used for accurate medical record keeping and billing purposes. The transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred in 2015, as ICD-10 provides more detailed and specific codes compared to its predecessor.

It is important for healthcare professionals to correctly assign the appropriate ICD-10 code, G35, for Multiple Sclerosis in order to ensure accurate documentation of the condition and facilitate appropriate treatment and management.
