ICD-10-CM Code for Suppressed lactation O92. 5.
The International Classification of Diseases Clinical Modification, 9th Revision (ICD-9 CM) is a list of codes intended for the classification of diseases and a wide variety of signs, symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or disease.
Currently, the U.S. is the only industrialized nation still utilizing ICD-9-CM codes for morbidity data, though we have already transitioned to ICD-10 for mortality.
ICD-9 uses mostly numeric codes with only occasional E and V alphanumeric codes. Plus, only three-, four- and five-digit codes are valid. ICD-10 uses entirely alphanumeric codes and has valid codes of up to seven digits.
Lactation suppression refers to the act of suppressing lactation by medication or other non pharmaceutical means. The breasts may become painful when engorged with milk if breastfeeding is ceased abruptly, or if never started.

1 : the secretion and yielding of milk by the mammary gland. 2 : one complete period of lactation extending from about the time of parturition to weaning.
In a concise statement, ICD-9 is the code used to describe the condition or disease being treated, also known as the diagnosis. CPT is the code used to describe the treatment and diagnostic services provided for that diagnosis.
General guidelines for ICD-9 coding Carry the code to the fourth or fifth digit when possible. Link the diagnosis code (ICD-9) to the service code (CPT) on the insurance claim form to identify why the service was rendered, thereby establishing medical necessity.
On October 1, 2013, the ICD-9 code sets will be replaced by ICD-10 code sets. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a final rule on January 16, 2009, adopting ICD-10-CM (clinical modifier) and ICD-10-PCS (procedure coding) system.
Used for medical claim reporting in all healthcare settings, ICD-10-CM is a standardized classification system of diagnosis codes that represent conditions and diseases, related health problems, abnormal findings, signs and symptoms, injuries, external causes of injuries and diseases, and social circumstances.
The ICD-9-CM codes have three to five characters, which are numeric with the exceptions of the V codes (factors influencing healthcare), E Codes (external causes of injury), and M Codes (neoplasm morphology) that begin with a single letter. The new ICD-10-CM codes have three to seven characters that are alphanumeric.
This means that ICD-10 codes must be used for services provided on or after October 1, 2014. ICD-9 codes may only be used for services provided before that date. Implementation was again postponed when, on March 31, 2014, Congress passed legislation that prohibits implementation of ICD-10 prior to October 1, 2015.
ICD-9 follows an outdated 1970's medical coding system which fails to capture detailed health care data and is inconsistent with current medical practice. By transitioning to ICD-10, providers will have: Improved operational processes by classifying detail within codes to accurately process payments and reimbursements.
