ICD10 code of Transverse myelitis and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Transverse myelitis? And the ICD9 code for Transverse myelitis?
Transverse myelitis is a rare neurological disorder characterized by inflammation of the spinal cord, which can result in various degrees of motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunction. The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD10) provides a specific code for transverse myelitis. The code for transverse myelitis in ICD10 is G37.3. The G prefix represents diseases of the nervous system, and the code 37.3 specifically corresponds to transverse myelitis.
On the other hand, the previous version of the classification system, ICD9, also had a code for transverse myelitis. In ICD9, transverse myelitis is represented by code 336.2. The three-digit code 336 indicates diseases of the spinal cord, and the additional digit 2 specifically denotes transverse myelitis.
It is important to note that healthcare professionals and medical coders utilize these codes to accurately document and classify diagnoses for billing, research, and statistical purposes. These codes assist in ensuring consistent and uniform data across healthcare systems, facilitating effective communication between healthcare providers and researchers.
However, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate ICD code assignment. They possess the expertise to evaluate and diagnose medical conditions, including transverse myelitis, based on comprehensive clinical assessments, laboratory tests, and imaging studies.
