ICD10 code of Zollinger Ellison Syndrome and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Zollinger Ellison Syndrome? And the ICD9 code for Zollinger Ellison Syndrome?
Zollinger Ellison Syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the presence of gastrin-secreting tumors in the pancreas or duodenum, leading to excessive stomach acid production. The ICD10 code for Zollinger Ellison Syndrome is E16.4. In the previous ICD9 coding system, the code for this syndrome was 251.5. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES) is a rare disorder characterized by the overproduction of gastric acid, resulting in severe peptic ulcers and other related symptoms. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), provides a specific code for ZES, which is E16.4. This alphanumeric code is used for medical record keeping, billing, and statistical purposes.
In contrast, the previous version of the classification system, ICD-9, had a different code for ZES. Under ICD-9, Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome was classified under code 251.5. However, it is important to note that since October 1, 2015, healthcare providers have transitioned to using the more recent ICD-10 coding system.
By providing these codes, medical professionals can accurately document and track cases of Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, enabling better understanding, research, and appropriate reimbursement. It is crucial for healthcare providers to stay updated with the latest coding systems to ensure comprehensive and accurate medical documentation.
