ICD10 code of Muscular dystrophy and ICD9 code

Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides codes to classify and categorize various diseases, including muscular dystrophy. The specific ICD-10 code for muscular dystrophy depends on the type and subtype of the condition. For example, Duchenne muscular dystrophy is assigned the code G71.0, while Becker muscular dystrophy is assigned the code G71.1. Other types, such as limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, have their own designated codes as well.

In contrast, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) was used prior to the implementation of ICD-10. The corresponding code for muscular dystrophy in ICD-9 is 359.1. It should be noted that ICD-9 codes are no longer updated and ICD-10 is the current coding system used worldwide.

Please consult a healthcare professional or the official ICD coding guidelines for accurate and up-to-date information regarding the coding of specific conditions.
