ICD-10 | Other seizures (G40. 89)
A seizure that lasts longer than 5 minutes, or having more than 1 seizure within a 5 minutes period, without returning to a normal level of consciousness between episodes is called status epilepticus. This is a medical emergency that may lead to permanent brain damage or death.

In DSM-5, psychogenic nonepileptic seizures are classified as a form of conversion disorder, or functional neurological symptom disorder, with the term "functional" referring to an impairment of normal bodily functioning (3).May 1, 2018

If you document the word “seizure”, the patient will be coded with R56. 9, unspecified convulsions, even if you meant that the patient has epilepsy. If you document “seizure disorder” or “recurrent seizures”, the patient will be coded with G40.Nov 15, 2018
Clinical Information. A brain disorder characterized by episodes of abnormally increased neuronal discharge resulting in transient episodes of sensory or motor neurological dysfunction, or psychic dysfunction. These episodes may or may not be associated with loss of consciousness or convulsions.
A group of disorders marked by problems in the normal functioning of the brain. These problems can produce seizures, unusual body movements, a loss of consciousness or changes in consciousness, as well as mental problems or problems with the senses.
It is important to start treatment right away. There is no cure for epilepsy, but medicines can control seizures for most people. When medicines are not working well, surgery or implanted devices such as vagus nerve stimulators may help. Special diets can help some children with epilepsy.
Brain disorder characterized by recurring excessive neuronal discharge, exhibited by transient episodes of motor, sensory, or psychic dysfunction, with or without unconsciousness or convulsive movements. Epilepsy is a brain disorder that causes people to have recurring seizures. The seizures happen when clusters of nerve cells, or neurons, ...

The ICD-10 codes for epilepsy are available under G00-G99 Diseases of the nervous system, G40-G 47 Episodic and paroxysmal disorders. The code descriptions include intractable or not intractable, as well as with and without status epilepticus.
Epilepsy signs and symptoms vary depending on the type of seizure and may include: Temporary confusion. A staring spell. Uncontrollable jerking movements of the arms and legs. Loss of consciousness or awareness. Psychic symptoms such as fear, anxiety or deja vu.
Although the two terms are often used interchangeably, a seizure is a single occurrence and is different from epilepsy, which constitutes two or more unprovoked seizures. November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month ...
November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month and now is a great time for neurology practices and medical coding companies to brush up on epilepsy and seizure coding.
The disorder can develop from brain injury, stroke, brain cancer, and drug or alcohol abuse, though the cause of disorder in many patients may be unknown. The John Hopkins Epilepsy Center defines a seizure as “a sudden, electrical discharge in the brain causing alterations in behavior, sensation, or consciousness”.
Generalized seizures are seizures that appear to begin everywhere in the brain at once. There are 6 main types of generalized seizures: Tonic-clonic, Tonic, Clonic, Myoclonic, Absence, and Atonic. Seizures beginning in one location of the brain are termed partial seizures. The diagnosis of epilepsy generally requires the occurrence ...
Status epilepticus (SE) is a medical emergency where the brain is in a state of persistent seizure. It is now defined in terms of specific time points for when to treat SE or when long-term side effects or complications were likely to begin, according to HealthLine. The definition of SE as published in the journal Epliepsia in 2015 is: “a condition resulting either from the failure of the mechanisms responsible for seizure termination or from the initiation of mechanisms, which lead to abnormally, prolonged seizures (after time point t1). It is a condition, which can have long-term consequences (after time point t2), including neuronal death, neuronal injury, and alteration of neuronal networks, depending on the type and duration of seizures.”
