Iga Nephropathy ICD 10 Code

Refresher: What are ICD-10 codes?

ICD-10 stands for International Classification of Diseases, and the numeral digit represents the 10th Revision authorized by the WHO (World Health Organization). ICD-10 is a coding system that was implemented for mortality coding and death certificate classification in the United States in 1999. This coding system allows medical practitioners to categorize health conditions. It includes categories of similar ailments under which other more specific diseases are mentioned. The ICD-10-CM codes allow patients to request medical reimbursements by proving their procedures were medically necessary.

ICD-10 is an alphanumeric code comprising seven characters. Each of these unique codes starts with a letter followed by two digits. The initial three characters of the code represent the category of the injury or condition. A decimal and a subcategory follow these three characters. Next come the subclassifications, which help further specify the manifestation, causes, severity, location, etc. The code's last character serves as the extension describing the encounter the code stands for.

ICD-10-CM replaced the ICD-9-CM in 2015. The major reasons behind this shift were that ICD-9-CM codes had become outdated since they were out of code capacity and had no room to expand. ICD-9-CM codes also had several drawbacks since they offered inadequate details and specifics compared to ICD-10-CM. Today, several countries utilize the different models of the ICD-10 coding system, with every unique model aligning with a country's distinct healthcare infrastructure.

The US variation of ICD-10 comprises two medical codes: ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS. ICD-10-PCS (Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System) is used to classify procedures in inpatient hospital settings. In contrast, ICD-10-CM serves a completely different purpose since it is a set of diagnostic codes representing diseases, injuries, social circumstances, abnormal findings, symptoms, external causes of injuries and disease, etc. In this article, we will review the igA nephropathy ICD-10 codes.
