ICD10 code of POEMS syndrome and ICD9 code

POEMS syndrome, also known as Crow-Fukase syndrome, is a rare, multi-system disorder that affects multiple organs in the body. The acronym "POEMS" stands for polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes. This condition is characterized by the presence of a monoclonal plasma cell disorder, typically multiple myeloma, along with several other clinical features.

In terms of coding, the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) provides specific codes to classify POEMS syndrome. The appropriate ICD-10 code for this condition is E85.4. This code falls under the category of "Other immunoproliferative diseases," which encompasses various disorders involving abnormal proliferation of immune cells.

In contrast, the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) was the previous coding system used before the implementation of ICD-10. The corresponding code for POEMS syndrome in ICD-9 is 273.3. This code falls under the category of "Other disorders of plasma protein metabolism," which includes various conditions related to the metabolism and function of plasma proteins.

It is essential to use the appropriate ICD code when documenting and billing for medical services related to POEMS syndrome. Accurate coding ensures proper identification, tracking, and understanding of the condition for healthcare providers, researchers, and insurance companies.

Please note that while I strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, it is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or refer to the most recent coding guidelines for the most accurate and specific coding information.
