L33996 Vitamin D Assay Testing A56798 Billing and Coding: Vitamin D Assay Testing CGS
Unspecified vitamin D deficiency. Short description: Vitamin D deficiency NOS. ICD-9-CM 268.9 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 268.9 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD), a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO). It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases.
ICD-10-CM Code for Vitamin D deficiency, unspecified E55. 9.
ICD-10 code: E55. 9 Vitamin D deficiency, unspecified.
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.
This test is appropriate for assessment of vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxy (CPT code 82652) is primarily indicated during patient evaluations for hypercalcemia and renal failure.
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.
Vitamin D deficiency (ICD-10 CM Diagnosis Code E55. 9) is an overlooked diagnosis for a number of alarming symptoms and afflictions. Depression, fatigue, anxiety, kidney disease, weakened immune system, and even psoriasis have been known to manifest as a result of vitamin D deficiency.
Code R53. 83 is the diagnosis code used for Other Fatigue. It is a condition marked by drowsiness and an unusual lack of energy and mental alertness. It can be caused by many things, including illness, injury, or drugs.
Hypothyroidism, UnspecifiedICD-9 Code Transition: 244.9 Code E03. 9 is the diagnosis code used for Hypothyroidism, Unspecified. It is a type of disorder of thyroid gland, a condition in which the production of thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland is diminished.
(Rickets; Osteomalacia) Vitamin D deficiency is most commonly caused by a lack of exposure to sunlight. Some disorders can also cause the deficiency. The most common cause is lack of exposure to sunlight, usually when the diet is deficient in vitamin D, but certain disorders can also cause the deficiency.
Do Medicare prescription drug plans cover vitamin D3? No. In general, Medicare prescription drug plans (Part D) do not cover this drug.

Note: Code 82306 includes fractions, if performed. Note: Code 82652 includes fractions, if performed. LCD Description:Vitamin D is a hormone, synthesized by the skin and metabolized by the kidney to an active hormone, calcitriol.
Vitamin D deficiency may lead to a variety of disorders, the most infamous of which is rickets. Evaluating patients’ vitamin D levels is accomplished by measuring the level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Measurement of other metabolites is generally not medically necessary.
Vitamin D deficiency results in abnormalities in calcium, phosphorus, and bone metabolism. Specifically, vitamin D deficiency causes a decrease in the efficiency of intestinal calcium and phosphorus absorption of dietary calcium and phosphorus, resulting in an increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels.
Vitamin D is called a “vitamin” because of its exogenous source, predominately from oily fish in the form of vitamin D2 and vitamin D3.
A major source of vitamin D for most humans comes from exposure of the skin to sunlight typically between 1000 hours and 1500 hours in the spring, summer, and fall. Vitamin D produced in the skin may last at least twice as long in the blood compared with ingested vitamin D.
Vitamin D has been described as an immunomodulator targeting various immune cells, including monocytes, macrophages, T-lymphocytes, and B-lymphocytes.5 Studies have suggested that vitamin D plays an important role in maintenance of the immune system.
Once in the blood, vitamin D2 and D3 from diet or skin bind with vitamin D binding protein and are carried to the liver where they are hydroxylated to yield calcidiol. Calcidiol then is converted in the kidney to calcitriol by the action of 1a-hydroxylase (CYP27B1).
