V codes, described in the ICD-9-CM chapter "Supplementary Classification of Factors Influencing Health Status and Contact with Health Services," are designed for occasions when circumstances other than a disease or injury result in an encounter or are recorded by providers as problems or factors that influence care.
The DSM-5 Steering Committee subsequently approved the inclusion of this category, and its corresponding ICD-10-CM code, Z03. 89 "No diagnosis or condition," is available for immediate use.
Peripheral vertigo is described as dizziness or a spinning sensation. Other symptoms associated with peripheral vertigo include: Loss of hearing in one ear. Ringing in one or both ears. Difficulty focusing vision.

ICD-10 code R11. 0 for Nausea is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
9: Fever, unspecified.
A disorder characterized by a sensation as if the external world were revolving around the patient (objective vertigo) or as if he himself were revolving in space (subjective vertigo). An illusion of movement, either of the external world revolving around the individual or of the individual revolving in space.
Vertigo may be associated with disorders of the inner ear (ear, inner); vestibular nerve; brainstem; or cerebral cortex. Lesions in the temporal lobe and parietal lobe may be associated with focal seizures that may feature vertigo as an ictal manifestation. (from Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp300-1)
The corresponding code for dizziness ICD-10 is R42 which is a billable code used for healthcare diagnosis and reimbursement purposes. Previously, the ICD-9 code for dizziness and giddiness was 780.4. In the ICD-10 code set, dizziness is characterized by a ‘sensation as if the external surroundings are revolving around the patient or if the patients themselves are revolving in space’.
Dizziness is a broad term that encompasses a range of sensations which include feeling faint, weak, unsteady, or woozy. It is characterized by a false sense that your surroundings are spinning or in a constant state of movement.
The sense of balance is determined by the combined input from your eyes, sensory nerves, and the inner ear. The inner ear houses sensors that regulate the back and forth motion as well as helping detect gravity. When the inner ear malfunctions due to a disorder, the brain is unable to process the signals sent from the inner ear consistently, resulting in vertigo and dizziness.
ICD serves as a foundation to identify clinical trends and statistics globally. Diseases, injuries, disorders, and all health conditions are listed comprehensively and organized into standard groupings allowing health care providers from around the world to compare and share information using the ICD codes.
ICD-10 (short for International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition) is a clinical documentation and cataloging system owned by the World Health organization which consists of thousands of codes, where each code represents critical information about the different diseases, findings, causes of injuries, symptoms, possible treatments, and epidemiology, playing a vital role in enabling advancements in clinical treatment and medication.
Some neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis, can lead to progressive loss of balance.
For that, it is imperative to follow the ICD-10 dizziness guidelines and to implement and train those guidelines in your practice. Outsourcing these processes to a trustworthy medical company like Control Billing can help you stay updated with the current billing and coding rules, ensure the payment process is smooth and everything is properly documented for use as administrative data.
R42 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of dizziness and giddiness. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
A balance disorder is a disturbance that causes an individual to feel unsteady, for example when standing or walking. It may be accompanied by feelings of giddiness, or wooziness, or having a sensation of movement, spinning, or floating. Balance is the result of several body systems working together: the visual system (eyes), vestibular system (ears) and proprioception (the body's sense of where it is in space). Degeneration or loss of function in any of these systems can lead to balance deficits.
Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here."
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.
