ICD10 code of Saethre-Chotzen syndrome and ICD9 code

Saethre-Chotzen syndrome, also known as acrocephalosyndactyly type III, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by craniosynostosis (premature fusion of skull bones) and limb abnormalities. The ICD10 code for Saethre-Chotzen syndrome is Q87.0, which falls under the category of "Other specified congenital malformation syndromes affecting multiple systems."

In contrast, the ICD9 code for Saethre-Chotzen syndrome is 755.56. However, it is important to note that the ICD9 code system is no longer in use as it was replaced by the ICD10 system in October 2015. The transition to ICD10 allows for more specific and detailed coding, improving accuracy and facilitating better understanding of various medical conditions.

It is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or medical coder for the most up-to-date and accurate coding information, as they are well-versed in the current coding guidelines and can provide the necessary assistance for proper documentation and reimbursement purposes.
