Why ICD-10 codes are important
➢ General Guidelines: ✓ A sequela is the residual effect (condition produced) after the acute phase of an illness or injury has terminated. In ICD- 10-CM, the term “late effect” has been replaced with sequela. What is a sequela of a fracture?
The ICD-10-CM code G40.911 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like new-onset refractory status epilepticus or status epilepticus due to refractory epilepsy. Unspecified diagnosis codes like G40.911 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition.
9 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R56. 9 - other international versions of ICD-10 R56.

2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G40. 509: Epileptic seizures related to external causes, not intractable, without status epilepticus.
ICD-10 code G40 for Epilepsy and recurrent seizures is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
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.
A seizure episode is classified to ICD-9-CM code 780.39, Other convulsions. This code also includes convulsive disorder not otherwise specified (NOS), fit NOS, and recurrent convulsions NOS. Basically, code 780.39 is for the single episode of a seizure.
Breakthrough seizures are seizures that occur in a person who had previously good consistent control of epilepsy documented in the medical records and then gets another seizure.
G40. 909 Epilepsy, unsp, not intractable, without status epilepticus - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
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.
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.
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.
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, ...
A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy). (from Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p313)
The seizures happen when clusters of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain send out the wrong signals. People may have strange sensations and emotions or behave strangely. They may have violent muscle spasms or lose consciousness. Epilepsy has many possible causes, including illness, brain injury and abnormal brain development. In many cases, the cause is unknown.doctors use brain scans and other tests to diagnose epilepsy. 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.
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.
