ICD10 code of Vocal Cord Dysfunction and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Vocal Cord Dysfunction? And the ICD9 code for Vocal Cord Dysfunction?
Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD) is a condition characterized by abnormal vocal cord movement during breathing, leading to difficulty in breathing, wheezing, and voice changes. The ICD-10 code for Vocal Cord Dysfunction is R06.1. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD-9 code for VCD as it was not included in the previous coding system. Proper diagnosis and treatment by a healthcare professional are essential for managing this condition.
Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD) is a condition characterized by abnormal vocal cord movement, resulting in partial or complete obstruction of the airway during breathing. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the specific code for VCD is R06.1. This code falls under the chapter "Symptoms, signs, and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified."
In the previous version, the 9th Revision (ICD-9), VCD was not specifically classified. However, it was commonly coded under the broad category of "Other diseases of the respiratory system" using code 519.19. This code encompassed various respiratory conditions not explicitly listed in ICD-9.
It is essential to note that while ICD-10 provides a more detailed and specific classification system, ICD-9 codes are still occasionally used for reference or in certain healthcare settings. However, the transition to ICD-10 has allowed for more accurate coding and improved tracking of various medical conditions, including Vocal Cord Dysfunction.
