ICD-9-CM 558.9 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 558.9 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
ICD-9-CM is the official system of assigning codes to diagnoses and procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. The ICD-9 was used to code and classify mortality data from death certificates until 1999,...

Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES), sometimes referred to as a delayed food allergy, is a severe condition causing vomiting and diarrhea. In some cases, symptoms can progress to dehydration and shock brought on by low blood pressure and poor blood circulation.
Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a rare food allergy that affects the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Unlike most food allergies, symptoms of FPIES do not begin immediately after eating. Instead, it can take hours before severe symptoms begin.
Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is an uncommon disorder characterized by an allergic reaction to food that affects the gastrointestinal system.

There is a lack of evidence for an autoimmune component in FPIES, but there is an association between FPIES and atopy 4, 5.
Chronic FPIES is uncommon, and usually occurs in infancy, due to repeated exposure to a food trigger (usually cow's milk protein or soy). It presents with persistent vomiting and/or diarrhoea (which can result in poor weight gain over time).
It has been anecdotally reported that FPIES can occur in adults, but only one confirmed case1 has been published up to now and there is no epidemiological data available. Acute FPIES typically presents with gastrointestinal symptoms with or without hypotension as seen in children.
FPIES is food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome. It is commonly pronounced "F-Pies", as in "apple pies," though some doctors may refer to it as FIES (pronounced "fees," considering food-protein as one word).
There is usually no vomiting and no life-threatening “attacks.” They often have blood in their stools, but it is seen with most bowel movements and the infants are not anemic (low blood count) from it. Infants with FPIES normally have much more violent reactions than infants with allergic proctocolitis.

The American Urological Association (AUA) has proposed changes to ICD-10-CM for genitourinary prosthesis, devices, grafts and implants. The proposed revisions are intended to incorporate appropriate terminology and current urological medical practice. There are certain occurrences for urological devices and prosthetics that should be included in ICD-10-CM and other instances where refinements are needed to remove references to specific complications that do not occur for a particular device, implant or graft. Several of the topics were originally presented in March 2011 and revisions have been made to address the comments received.
The implementation of ICD-10 was delayed from October 1, 2013 to October 1, 2014 by final rule CMS-0040-F issued on August 24, 2012.
The AUA has proposed the creation of additional codes at T85.1, Mechanical complication of implanted electronic stimulator of nervous system, to capture information related to the breakdown and displacement of a neurostimulator device of the sacral nerve.
Congenital metatarsus adductus is currently classified to code Q66.2, Congenital metatarsus (primus) varus. Metatarsus adductus is adduction of all the metatarsals not just the first metatarsal (primus varus). Primus varus does not have a unique code in ICD-10-CM and is currently indexed to code Q66.2. The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) has proposed creating unique codes under Q66.2 for congenital metatarsus primus varus and congenital metatarsus adductus. It should be noted that primus varus and metatarsus varus each had unique codes in ICD-9-CM (754.52 and 754.53, respectively).
In 2007 the WHO URC revised category I72 adding “and dissection” to it and all codes under it. In addition new codes were created for aneurysm and dissection of precerebral artery and aneurysm and dissection of vertebral arteries, as well as, adding some coding instructional notes.
The first specific diagnosis code for FPIES was approved in June 2013. The code did not take effect right away due to the delayed transition from the current ICD-9 coding system to the new ICD-10 coding system. The code was further delayed from its scheduled implementation in October 2015 due to a partial code freeze for ICD-10. I-FPIES leadership continued to advocate with the CDC and NCHS for the past year on behalf of our community to help ensure the code’s implementation in 2016.
The International FPIES Association (I-FPIES) is excited to share that the official diagnosis code (K52.21) for Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) will take effect on October 1, 2016.
Establishment of an ICD code for FPIES is an important step in further defining this diagnosis and increasing its visibility to enable increased support and care for children, and their families, living with this diagnosis. We recognize there is much more work to be done to assure all children along the spectrum of this diagnosis have this same access to adequate support and care and look forward to this continued work in collaboration with our medical advisory board and this community.
The FPIES Foundation is excited that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) now recognizes Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES), and has appointed it with diagnostic code K52.21, among allergic digestive diseases. This is a step that has the building blocks to make diagnosis and medical/formula coverage easier for a lot of children and their families and was supported by The FPIES Foundation. We thank Dr.Anna Nowak-Wegryzn (Founding member of The FPIES Foundation Medical Advisory Board member) and I-FPIES for their role in this initiative.
This ever growing and changing list is maintained by the World HealthOrganization (WHO). WHO defines ICD as, “. . .The standard diagnostic tool for epidemiology, health management and clinical purposes. This includes the analysis of the general health situation of population groups. It is used to monitor the incidence and prevalence of diseases and other health problems”.
