ICD10 code of Turner Syndrome and ICD9 code

Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects females and is characterized by the partial or complete absence of one of the X chromosomes. This condition can lead to a variety of physical and developmental abnormalities. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), Turner Syndrome is assigned the code Q96.0.

ICD-10 is a globally recognized system used to classify diseases, disorders, and other health conditions. It provides a standardized way for healthcare professionals to record and communicate diagnoses. The code Q96.0 specifically identifies Turner Syndrome and allows for accurate documentation and tracking of the condition.

In contrast, the previous version of the classification system, ICD-9, used different codes. Turner Syndrome was assigned the code 758.6 in ICD-9. However, it's important to note that ICD-9 codes are no longer in use as ICD-10 was implemented in most countries, including the United States, in October 2015.

Healthcare providers use these codes to facilitate communication and ensure consistent coding practices across different healthcare settings. This enables accurate data collection, research, and monitoring of various conditions, including Turner Syndrome. By using standardized codes like Q96.0, healthcare professionals can easily identify and track patients with Turner Syndrome, allowing for better management, treatment, and research in the field.
