ICD10 code of Neurofibromatosis and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Neurofibromatosis? And the ICD9 code for Neurofibromatosis?
Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of tumors on nerves throughout the body. The ICD10 code for Neurofibromatosis is Q85.00. In the previous ICD9 coding system, Neurofibromatosis was identified by the code 237.7. These codes are used by healthcare professionals to accurately diagnose and classify the condition for medical records and billing purposes.
Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder characterized by the development of tumors on nerve tissue. There are different types of neurofibromatosis, but the most common ones are neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2).
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) provides specific codes for neurofibromatosis. The ICD-10 code for neurofibromatosis type 1 is Q85.0, while the code for neurofibromatosis type 2 is Q85.1. These codes are used by healthcare professionals for accurate diagnosis and billing purposes.
In contrast, the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) had different codes for neurofibromatosis. The ICD-9 code for neurofibromatosis type 1 was 237.7, and for neurofibromatosis type 2, it was 237.72.
It is important to note that the ICD-10 codes provide a more detailed classification system compared to the ICD-9 codes. The transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred in October 2015, and the updated codes offer a more comprehensive and specific approach to coding various medical conditions, including neurofibromatosis.
