ICD10 code of VACTERL/VATER association and ICD9 code

The ICD-10 code for VACTERL/VATER association is Q87.2. This code is used to classify a rare congenital disorder that affects multiple body systems. VACTERL stands for Vertebral defects, Anal atresia, Cardiac defects, Tracheo-Esophageal fistula, Renal anomalies, and Limb abnormalities. VATER is an acronym for Vertebral defects, Anal atresia, Tracheo-Esophageal fistula, and Renal anomalies.

In contrast, the ICD-9 code for VACTERL/VATER association is 759.3. The ICD-9 coding system was used before the implementation of ICD-10. This code was used to categorize congenital anomalies that affect multiple body systems and share similar characteristics to VACTERL/VATER association.

It is important to note that ICD codes are used for medical classification and billing purposes. They help healthcare providers and insurance companies identify and track specific diagnoses. However, the codes themselves do not provide detailed medical information or treatment recommendations. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of any medical condition.
