ICD-10 code: G12.0
ICD-9 code: 335.0
Spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 is a rare genetic disorder characterized by severe muscle weakness and respiratory problems. It typically affects infants and leads to difficulty breathing, feeding, and overall muscle function. The ICD-10 code G12.0 and ICD-9 code 335.0 are used to classify this condition for medical billing and coding purposes.
Spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1, also known as SMARD1, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the muscles involved in breathing. The ICD-10 code for this condition is G12.2. It is characterized by progressive muscle weakness and respiratory difficulties, often leading to respiratory failure in infancy.
In terms of the ICD-9 code, it is important to note that the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) has been replaced by ICD-10. However, the corresponding code for SMARD1 in ICD-9 is 335.1. This code is used to classify progressive spinal muscular atrophy, which encompasses various subtypes, including SMARD1.
It is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional or medical coding specialist to ensure accurate coding and billing. Proper coding helps in effective communication, research, and healthcare planning.
