The ICD-10 code for Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Tarda is Q77.7. In the previous ICD-9 coding system, the corresponding code for this condition was 756.59. Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Tarda is a rare genetic disorder characterized by skeletal abnormalities, particularly affecting the spine and epiphyses of long bones. It can lead to short stature, joint pain, and limited mobility. Proper coding helps in accurate diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Tarda (SEDT) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the skeletal system, specifically the spine and the ends of long bones. It is characterized by short stature, joint abnormalities, and a delay in bone maturation.
In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the specific code for Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Tarda is Q77.7. This code falls under the category of "Congenital malformation syndromes predominantly associated with short stature" in the ICD-10 coding system.
However, in the previous version, ICD-9, there is no specific code for Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Tarda. Instead, it would be classified under the more general code 756.59, which covers other specified congenital musculoskeletal anomalies.
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or medical coder for accurate coding and documentation purposes. Properly identifying and coding conditions such as Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Tarda is crucial for medical recordkeeping, research, and insurance reimbursement.
