ICD10 code of Neurofibromatosis and ICD9 code

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.
