For 82306: If more than one LCD-listed condition contributes to Vitamin D deficiency in a given patient and/or is improved by Vitamin D administration, coders should use: ICD-10 E55. 9 UNSPECIFIED VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY. This code should not be used for any other indication.
The measurement of 25(OH) Vitamin D levels will be considered medically reasonable and necessary for patients with any of the following conditions: Chronic kidney disease stage III or greater. Hypercalcemia. Hypocalcemia.
The test can determine if your vitamin D levels are too high or too low. The test is also known as the 25-OH vitamin D test and the calcidiol 25-hydroxycholecalcifoerol test. It can be an important indicator of osteoporosis (bone weakness) and rickets (bone malformation).
ICD-10 code E55. 9 for Vitamin D deficiency, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
Medicare Part D does cover prenatal vitamins, fluoride and vitamin D analogs, such as calcitriol, doxercalciferol and paricalcitol. Prescription drugs used for cosmetic purposes or hair growth, but Medicare Part D does cover prescription drugs to treat psoriasis, acne, rosacea and vitiligo.
Do Medicare prescription drug plans cover vitamin D3? No. In general, Medicare prescription drug plans (Part D) do not cover this drug.
Lower than normal 25-OH vitamin D levels can result from a dietary deficiency, poor absorption of the vitamin or impaired metabolism of the sterol in the liver. A 25-OH vitamin D deficiency can lead to bone diseases such as rickets and osteomalacia. Above normal levels can lead to hypercalcemia.
There are several reasons for this. The circulating half life of circulating 1,25(OH)D is only 4-6 hours. Circulating levels of 1,25(OH)D are a thousand fold less than 25(OH)D. As a patient becomes vitamin D deficient, there is a decrease in intestinal calcium absorption which lowers ionized calcium transiently.
Tests for Vitamin D Deficiency The most accurate way to measure how much vitamin D is in your body is the 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test. A level of 20 nanograms/milliliter to 50 ng/mL is considered adequate for healthy people. A level less than 12 ng/mL indicates vitamin D deficiency.
ICD-10 code E55 for Vitamin D deficiency is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .

Clinical Information. A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of vitamin d in the diet, insufficient production of vitamin d in the skin, inadequate absorption of vitamin d from the diet, or abnormal conversion of vitamin d to its bioactive metabolites.

History/Background and/or General Information Vitamin D, a group of fat-soluble prohormones, is an essential Vitamin. There are two major types of Vitamin D (Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3) which are collectively known as calciferol.
