Unsteadiness on feetICD-10 code R26. 81 for Unsteadiness on feet is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
"Easy bruising" is usually coded as ecchymosis - 459.89 or 782.7.
Spontaneous ecchymosis (also called 'actinic purpura') is extremely common. It occurs primarily on the forearms and hands but can also occur on the legs. Basically, tiny vessels rupture in the skin and leave black, purple and/or red patches. The patches can easily tear.
A bruise, also known as a contusion, typically appears on the skin after trauma such as a blow to the body. It occurs when the small veins and capillaries under the skin break. A hematoma is a collection (or pooling) of blood outside the blood vessel.
Our physicians have used IDC-10 code F07. 81 as the primary diagnosis for patients presenting with post concussion syndrome.
The note in ICD-10 under codes B95-B97 states that 'these categories are provided for use as supplementary or additional codes to identify the infectious agent(s) in disease classified elsewhere', so you would not use B96. 81 as a primary diagnosis, but as an additional code with the disease listed first.
M62. 81 Muscle Weakness (generalized) Specify etiology of weakness, such as musculoskeletal disorder, stroke, brain injury, etc.
ICD-9 Code Transition: 780.79 Code R53. 83 is the diagnosis code used for Other Fatigue. It is a condition marked by drowsiness and an unusual lack of energy and mental alertness. It can be caused by many things, including illness, injury, or drugs.
Z91.81There is also another code available in ICD-10 for falls: Z91. 81 (History of falling). This code is to be used when the patient has fallen before and is at risk for future falls.
What is Ataxic Gait? Ataxic gait is often characterized by difficulty walking in a straight line, lateral veering, poor balance, a widened base of support, inconsistent arm motion, and lack of repeatability. These symptoms often resemble gait seen under the influence of alcohol.
Why are you falling much more than usual? Podiatrists call this an unsteady gait and it means just that: you are not walking in a steady way. The definition, however, is a lot more cut-and-dried than the potential causes. Unsteady gait can arise from many different diseases, conditions, and syndromes.

The ICD code S40 is used to code Bruise. A bruise, or contusion, is a type of hematoma of tissue in which capillaries and sometimes venules are damaged by trauma, allowing blood to seep, hemorrhage, or extravasate into the surrounding interstitial tissues.
ICD Code S40.02 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the three child codes of S40.02 that describes the diagnosis 'contusion of upper arm' in more detail.
S40.02. Non-Billable means the code is not sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code S40.02 is a non-billable code.
A bruise, or contusion, is a type of hematoma of tissue in which capillaries and sometimes venules are damaged by trauma, allowing blood to seep, hemorr hage, or extravasate into the surrounding interstitial tissues . Bruises, which do not blanch under pressure, can involve capillaries at the level of skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, or bone. Bruises are not to be confused with other similar-looking lesions primarily distinguished by their by their diameter or causation. These lesions include petechia (< 3 mm result from numerous and diverse etiologies such as adverse reactions from medications such as warfarin, straining, asphyxiation, platelet disorders and diseases such as cytomegalovirus), purpura (3 mm to 1 cm, classified as palpable purpura or non-palpable purpura and indicates various pathologic conditions such as thrombocytopenia), and ecchymosis (>1 cm caused blood dissecting through tissue planes and settled in an area remote from the site of trauma or pathology such as periorbital ecchymosis, i.e.,"raccoon eyes" , arising from a basilar skull fracture or from a neuroblastoma).
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code S40.029A and a single ICD9 code, 923.03 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
