What is the ICD10 code for Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy? And the ICD9 code for Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy?
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare viral disease that affects the central nervous system. The ICD-10 code for PML is G04.81. In the previous coding system, the ICD-9 code for PML was 046.3. These codes are used for medical billing and classification purposes, allowing healthcare providers to accurately document and track cases of PML.
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare viral infection that affects the brain and central nervous system. It is caused by the JC virus and primarily affects individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS or undergoing immunosuppressive therapy. PML is characterized by the destruction of myelin, the protective covering of nerve fibers in the brain, leading to a range of neurological symptoms.
In the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), the code for PML is B97.8. This code falls under the chapter "Certain infectious and parasitic diseases" and specifically relates to other viral agents as the cause of diseases. It is important to note that the ICD-10 code for PML may vary depending on the underlying condition that led to the weakened immune system.
In the previous version, the ICD-9 code for PML was 046.3. This code was categorized under "Other specified viral diseases of central nervous system." However, it is worth mentioning that the ICD-9 code system is no longer in use, as it has been replaced by the more comprehensive ICD-10 coding system.
