The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
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, intractable, without status epilepticus. G40. 919 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
ICD-10 Code for Unspecified convulsions- R56. 9- Codify by AAPC.
1 : not easily governed, managed, or directed intractable problems. 2 : not easily relieved or cured intractable pain.
These terms essentially mean the same thing. Doctors may call your epilepsy uncontrolled, intractable, refractory or drug resistant if you keep having seizures after trying two or more medications. This includes when the medication reduces seizures but do not prevent them entirely.
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.
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.
unspecified convulsionsIf 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.
R56. 9, Unspecified convulsions (which includes seizures NOS).
The definition of intractable is not easily controlled or hard to work. An example of intractable used as an adjective is an intractable clay which means clay that is difficult to shape. Difficult to mold or manipulate.
We say that a problem is intractable if there is no polynomial-time algorithm for the problem.
Intractable essentially means difficult to treat or manage. This type of pain isn't curable, so the focus of treatment is to reduce your discomfort. The condition is also known as intractable pain disease, or IP.
