seizure icd 9 code

Hi Tink, I am actually a medical coder for a hospital -the ICD-10 code would be G93.5. The ICD-9 code is 384.4. Since ICD-9 is not very specific they may have put a I after to show it is a Chiari Malformation type 1. In ICD-10 it is more specific - G93.5 states Chiari Malformation 1. So I am assuming since the ICD-9 code of 384.4 just states compression of brain they had to add a 1 so it was more specific for their notes.

070.51 is the ICD-9-CM code for Acute hepatitis C without mention of hepatic coma. B17.10 – Acute hepatitis C without hepatic coma is the ICD-10 code. In the overall scheme of things ultimately the only person who really cares about those codes is the one processing your health insurance claim. The code might have been on your receipt from the doctor's office or your EOB (Explanation of Benefits).

t talked to him yet as he is not in his office currently but this has me worried. Did he make a mistake and use the wrong ICD code or could this code also apply to the condition that I was diagnosed with. Thank you.

My mom always warned me about this, especially when it comes to life or health insurance. She insisted that if I go to a doc for anything, if they do not formally diagnose an issue don't let it get on your file. I never knew why until I had a run in because of it. I went to a doc 4 or 5 years ago for a peristant cough. He asked me to try advair based solely on my complaint of a persistant cough. he listened to my lungs, no issues.

426.9 conduction disorder, unspecified what does that mean? dangerous?

428.22 is the ICD diagnosis code for your condition. It simply means that the pumping action of your heart is reduced or impared. Did you get any feedback from your doctor concerning your Ejection fraction (EF%) ? Was this diagnosed on a stress test and if so what were the other findings. Let us know so we can better help you.

Not sure if they're the same, but the doc has to put down an ICD-9 code on their "super bill" to get reimbursed by insurance. I'm not saying he'd make something up but will get as close as he can on the ICD-9 code. Don't read too much into it. Ask your doctor to clarify, don't be afraid to ask these questions.

Is there an ICD-9 code for "cervical demyelinating myelopathy"?

This might be a right bundle branch conduction delay, ie a conduction disorder of some unspecified type (check the ICD code), although whether that would be a real worry is also unspecified. 2. The note says that there is a normal echo. This is not the same thing as an ecg. So it does not follow that the ecg is normal because the echo is normal. 3. The note is not validated by the input of a physician, nor subsequently by your individual assessment of the physician and his diagnosis.

My mother has an ICD and it has gone off a total of 27 times in the last few days. She's only 62. There is not a problem with the device, she just keeps going into Vtach, but she can't be sustained in a normal rhythm. If a normal rhythm doesn't come back, is it just cruel to keep the device firing. Even in a full code patient would you shock them externally this many times without a sustained change in heart rhythm? I just don't want to make her suffer for nothing.

I would have your friend get a CT scan to see if he has a tumor called a MENINGIOMA OF BRAIN.see:https://members.kaiserpermanente.org/kpweb/hcsearch/list.do?mode=crr&icd=225%2E2&query=MENINGIOMA+OF+BRAIN Doctors have a hard time figuring it out. It sound like he is having seizures.see: https://members.kaiserpermanente.org/kpweb/hcsearch/list.do?mode=crr&icd=780%2E39&query=SEIZURE If he has not had a CT tell him to get one.

One nice feature of HEPTIMAX is that it doesn't require a lot of numbers to order... just have the doctor/nurse write the name HEPTIMAX, along with diagnostic ICD-9 code for hepatitis c on the lab order; shouldn't be confusion with this at all.

what tests should i mark to look for viral load/ geno-type.And an Icd 9 code please. if you can it would be greatly appreciated.

m sorry to learn what happened. Your son may be really be having a seizure disorder of unknown etiology. Most seizure disorders have indeed no identifiable cause, and they are just classified according to presentation, and the treatment is tailored according to these classifications as well. Your son may have different kinds of seizures, but a thorough search for a cause should be sought (like EEG, MRI, etc).

I'm not a doctor, so I can't answer specifically what caused your mom to have a seizure and code. The doctors are right when they told you that she was very sick. It sounds like the alcohol had been gradually damaging her liver over many years, her liver started to not work correctly about 6 years ago (decompensated Cirrhosis). Once the liver is not able to work correctly, it isn't able to filter out all of the toxins in our body (various foods, various medications).

I have been diagnosed with HCM and AFIB been taking sotalol 120, w/prodaxa, and divalproex sod 500 for my seizure. I am only 34 and this all started happening at once when I was 32. Nothing Is working with my heart meds I am scheduled to be switch to Tikyson.
