Pleurisy, also known as pleuritis, is an inflammation of the pleura, the thin membrane that lines the lungs and chest cavity. The ICD-10 code for pleurisy is R09.1. This code falls under the category of "Respiratory abnormalities, not elsewhere classified." It is important to note that the ICD-10 code system replaced the previous ICD-9 system for medical coding. In the older ICD-9 system, pleurisy was coded as 511.9, which fell under the category of "Other specified forms of infectious and parasitic diseases of the respiratory system." ICD-10 codes provide a more detailed and specific classification system, allowing for a more accurate representation of various medical conditions. Pleurisy is typically characterized by sharp chest pain during breathing, coughing, or sneezing, and it can be caused by infections, autoimmune disorders, or other underlying conditions. Proper coding of pleurisy helps healthcare providers track and analyze data related to this condition for diagnostic and treatment purposes.
