What is the ICD10 code for Visual Agnosia? And the ICD9 code for Visual Agnosia?
Visual Agnosia ICD10 code: H54.7
Visual Agnosia ICD9 code: 368.16
Visual agnosia is a neurological condition that impairs a person's ability to recognize and identify objects or people visually, despite having intact vision. This disorder can be caused by various factors such as brain injury, stroke, or neurodegenerative diseases. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), visual agnosia is classified under "Other cerebral palsy and other paralytic syndromes" within Chapter VI, titled "Diseases of the nervous system" under code G83.8.
On the other hand, in the previous version of the classification system, the 9th Revision (ICD-9), visual agnosia is not specifically listed as a separate diagnostic code. Instead, it is encompassed within broader categories such as "Other specified brain disorders" (code 348.8) or "Unspecified mental retardation" (code 318.2) depending on the underlying cause and associated symptoms.
It is important to note that the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes are used for medical billing, statistical analysis, and documentation purposes. They provide a standardized way to categorize and communicate diagnoses within the healthcare system. However, they do not capture the full complexity of a patient's condition and are not designed to guide treatment decisions. Therefore, it is crucial for healthcare professionals to thoroughly assess and evaluate a patient's symptoms and medical history to provide appropriate care and support for individuals with visual agnosia.
