ICD10 code of Usher Syndrome and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Usher Syndrome? And the ICD9 code for Usher Syndrome?
Usher Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects both hearing and vision. It is classified as a type of autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated gene - one from each parent - in order to develop the condition.
The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for Usher Syndrome. The code for Usher Syndrome is H35.52. It falls under the category of "Other retinal dystrophies" within the broader section of "Disorders of choroid and retina" (H30-H36). This code allows healthcare professionals and researchers to easily identify and classify patients with Usher Syndrome.
In contrast, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) did not have a specific code dedicated to Usher Syndrome. Instead, it required healthcare providers to use a combination of codes to describe the associated symptoms and manifestations of the disorder. For example, the hearing impairment would be coded as 389.1 (Mixed conductive and sensorineural hearing loss), while the retinal dystrophy component would be coded as 362.74 (Other retinal dystrophies). By utilizing multiple codes, healthcare professionals could convey the presence of Usher Syndrome in their patients.
It is important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred on October 1, 2015. Therefore, healthcare providers currently use the ICD-10 code H35.52 to diagnose and document cases of Usher Syndrome. This standardized coding system aids in accurate medical recordkeeping, research, and statistical analysis of the disorder's prevalence and impact on affected individuals.
