G40.A19 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Absence epileptic syndrome, intractable, w/o stat epi.
Epilepsy, unspecified, not intractable, without status epilepticus 1 G00-G99 Diseases of the nervous system. 2 G40 Epilepsy and recurrent seizures. 3 G40.90 Epilepsy, unspecified, not intractable.
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.
ICD-10 code G40. 919 for Epilepsy, unspecified, intractable, without status epilepticus is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
Intractable epilepsy is when seizures can't be completely controlled by medicines. (Intractable means "not easily managed or relieved.") It's also called refractory, uncontrolled, or drug-resistant epilepsy.
Epilepsy, unspecified, not intractable 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.
An absence seizure causes you to blank out or stare into space for a few seconds. They can also be called petit mal seizures. Absence seizures are most common in children and typically don't cause any long-term problems. These types of seizures are often set off by a period of hyperventilation.
What is a not intractable migraine? An intractable migraine causes severe pain that extends beyond 72 hours and usually requires a hospital visit for treatment. Comparatively, a not intractable migraine typically lasts up to 72 hours and can be treated with migraine medications.
Definition of intractable 1 : not easily governed, managed, or directed intractable problems. 2 : not easily relieved or cured intractable pain. 3 : not easily manipulated or shaped intractable metal.
Experts now divide epilepsy into four basic types based on the seizures you're having:Generalized epilepsy.Focal epilepsy.Generalized and focal epilepsy.Unknown if generalized or focal epilepsy.

PNES are attacks that may look like epileptic seizures but are not caused by abnormal brain electrical discharges. Instead, they are a manifestation of psychological distress.
An absence seizure is a generalized onset seizure, which means it begins in both sides of the brain at the same time. An older term is petit mal seizures. Absence seizures usually affect only a person's awareness of what is going on at that time, with immediate recovery.
Although absences are considered a paradigm of primarily generalized seizures, they may occasionally be of focal onset (focal onset generalized absence seizures), usually arising from focal brain pathology.
A disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. 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.
Paroxysmal attacks or paroxysms (from Greek παροξυσμός) are a sudden recurrence or intensification of symptoms, such as a spasm or seizure. These short, frequent, and stereotyped symptoms can be observed in various clinical conditions.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code G40.A19 and a single ICD9 code, 345.2 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
G40.A09 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Absence epileptic syndrome, not intractable, without status epilepticus . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
