Sarcoidosis is a disease characterized by the growth of tiny collections of inflammatory cells in different parts of the body. The ICD10 code for sarcoidosis is D86, while the ICD9 code is 135. These codes are used for medical classification and billing purposes, allowing healthcare providers to accurately document and track cases of sarcoidosis.
Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease that affects multiple organs in the body. In the ICD-10 coding system, sarcoidosis is classified under the category "D86: Sarcoidosis." The specific code for sarcoidosis depends on the affected organ or system. For instance, if the lungs are primarily affected, the code would be "D86.0: Sarcoidosis of lung." Other common sites of involvement include the lymph nodes (D86.1), skin (D86.2), and eyes (D86.8). Additionally, there is a general code for sarcoidosis without specifying the site (D86.9).
In the previous ICD-9 coding system, sarcoidosis fell under the category "135: Sarcoidosis." Similar to ICD-10, the specific code depended on the affected organ. For example, "135.0" represented sarcoidosis of the lung, "135.1" for lymph nodes, "135.2" for skin involvement, and "135.8" for other sites.
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or coder to obtain the most accurate and up-to-date ICD coding information for sarcoidosis, as codes may vary depending on the specific clinical presentation.
