Code E78. 5 is the diagnosis code used for Hyperlipidemia, Unspecified, a disorder of lipoprotein metabolism other lipidemias. It is a condition with excess lipids in the blood.
E75. 6 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E75.
Hyperlipidemia means your blood has too many lipids (or fats), such as cholesterol and triglycerides. One type of hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, means you have too much non-HDL cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol in your blood.
E78. 6 - Lipoprotein deficiency. ICD-10-CM.
Encounter for screening for lipoid disorders Z13. 220 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z13. 220 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The medical community recognizes lipid testing as appropriate for evaluating atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Conditions in which lipid testing may be indicated include: Assessment of patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Evaluation of primary dyslipidemia.
You may have also heard of hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia and wondered if these conditions are the same and how they relate to your cholesterol or triglyceride levels. Hypercholesterolemia is a specific type of hyperlipidemia.
You wouldn't code them together. Cholesterol is a type of lipid. If the provider diagnosed pure hypercholesterolemia, you would code that. It is more specific than hyperlipidemia, unspecified.
Hyperlipidemia refers to high levels of LDL or triglycerides. Dyslipidemia can refer to levels that are either higher or lower than the normal range for those blood fats.

Pure hypercholesterolemia, unspecifiedPure hypercholesterolemia, unspecified E78. 00 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E78. 00 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Measurement of the total serum cholesterol (CPT code 82465) or a measured LDL (CPT code 83721) should suffice for interim visits if the patient does not have hypertriglyceridemia.
Hyperkalemia is the medical term that describes a potassium level in your blood that's higher than normal. Potassium is a chemical that is critical to the function of nerve and muscle cells, including those in your heart.
Definition of hypercholesterolemia : the presence of excess cholesterol in the blood.
Hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) means your blood has too many lipids (fats) in it. These can add up and lead to blockages in your blood vessels. This is why high cholesterol can put you at risk for a stroke or heart attack.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E78.0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Clinical Information. A group of familial disorders characterized by elevated circulating cholesterol contained in either low-density lipoproteins alone or also in very-low-density lipoproteins (pre-beta lipoproteins).
Characterized by increased plasma concentration of cholesterol carried in low density lipoproteins (ldl) and by a deficiency in a cell surface receptor which regulates ldl degradation and cholesterol synthesis. Hypercholesterolemia that is caused by mutation in the low density lipoprotein receptor gene.
Hypercholesteremia or high (elevated) cholesterol. Hyperlipoproteinemia low-density-lipoprotein-type (LDL) So, when total cholesterol is high the code is E78.00 ; when LDL is high the code is also E78.00. E78.1 for:
ICD-10 was developed in 1992 and was intended to track mortality statistics. The WHO publishes minor annual updates and major updates every three years. Subsequently, some countries have created their own ICD-10 code extensions.
Although FH is one of the most common life-threatening genetic diseases affecting all races and ethnicities, there was no specific diagnostic code to differentiate FH from other forms of hypercholesterolemia. It was E78.00. This did not encourage family screening. As we already know, patients with FH require early and more aggressive treatment, and family screening is essential for this early diagnosis and treatment.
The ICD-10 list originates from the “List of causes of death”, the first edition of which was published by the International Institute of Statistics in 1893. The WHO took charge of it in 1948, the sixth edition, the first to include causes of morbidity.
It is the classification and codification of diseases and a wide variety of signs, symptoms, abnormal findings, allegations, social circumstances, and causes. The ICD was published by the World Health Organization. It is used at international level for statistical purposes related to morbidity and mortality, reimbursement systems ...
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E78.6 became effective on October 1, 2021.
This defect results in low hdl-cholesterol level in blood and accumulation of free cholesterol in tissue leading to a triad of corneal opacity, hemolytic anemia (anemia, hemolytic), and proteinuria.
Conditions with abnormally low levels of alpha-lipoproteins (high-density lipoproteins) in the blood. Hypoalphalipoproteinemia can be associated with mutations in genes encoding apolipoprotein a-i; lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase; and atp-binding cassette transporters.
Hypobetalipoproteinemia, familial. Lipoprotein deficiency disorder. Clinical Information. A disorder of lipoprotein metabolism caused by mutations in the lcat gene. It is characterized by deficiency of the enzyme lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase.
A metabolic disorder characterized by deficiency of high density (alpha) lipoprotein in the blood. A rare, autosomal recessive inherited disorder of cholesterol transport, resulting in severe reduction of the amount of high density lipoprotein in the plasma and accumulation of cholesterol esters in the tissues.
Disorder of lipid metabolism inherited as an autosomal recessive trait characterized by the near absence of apolipoprotein b and apob containing lipoproteins in plasma; microsomal triglyceride transfer protein is deficient or absent in enterocytes; clinical and laboratory findings include acanthocytosis, hypocholesterolemia, peripheral neuropathy, posterior column degeneration, ataxia, and steatorrhea; intellectual abilities may also be impaired.
