Epilepsy ICD-10-CM Codes

ICD-10-CM codes for epilepsy should be used in medical documentation for diagnosis, treatment planning, and billing. These codes provide a standardized method for healthcare professionals to identify and categorize epilepsy types and severities.

Common treatments generally involve anti-seizure medications like phenytoin, valproic acid, and lamotrigine. For some intractable cases, surgical procedures like vagus nerve stimulation or resective surgery may be considered.

A diagnosis code for epilepsy identifies the specific form and severity of epilepsy a patient is experiencing. These codes are vital for healthcare providers for standardized diagnosis and treatment planning and are also important for billing and statistical purposes.
