ICD-10 code for Pseudohypoparathyroidism: E20.1
ICD-9 code for Pseudohypoparathyroidism: 275.49
Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a rare genetic disorder characterized by resistance to the parathyroid hormone. It leads to low levels of calcium in the blood and various symptoms. The ICD-10 code E20.1 and ICD-9 code 275.49 are used to classify and identify this condition for medical billing and coding purposes.
Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to respond to parathyroid hormone, leading to abnormal calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood. The condition is characterized by symptoms such as muscle cramps, seizures, numbness, and developmental delays.
In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), pseudohypoparathyroidism is classified under the code E20.8. This code falls under the section for disorders of other endocrine glands. It is important to note that there are various subtypes of pseudohypoparathyroidism, each with its own specific ICD-10 code.
In the previous version, the 9th Revision (ICD-9), pseudohypoparathyroidism was classified under the code 275.49. This code fell under the section for disorders of mineral metabolism and was specifically used for other disorders of calcium metabolism.
It is important for healthcare professionals to accurately code and document the condition using the appropriate ICD-10 code to ensure proper identification, tracking, and billing for the disorder. The ICD-10 system provides a more detailed and specific coding structure compared to ICD-9, allowing for improved accuracy in diagnosis and treatment.
Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a complex condition that requires ongoing medical management and support. If you suspect you or someone you know may have pseudohypoparathyroidism, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis, treatment, and management of the condition.
