Danon disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the accumulation of glycogen in various tissues, primarily affecting the heart, skeletal muscles, and brain. The ICD-10 code for Danon disease is E74.01. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD-9 code for this condition as it was introduced after the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 coding system.
Danon disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the accumulation of glycogen in various tissues, including the heart, skeletal muscles, and central nervous system. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), provides a specific code for this condition. The ICD-10 code for Danon disease is E74.01. This code falls under the category of "glycogen storage diseases" in the ICD-10 coding system.
In contrast, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), which was used prior to the implementation of ICD-10, does not have a specific code for Danon disease. However, it is worth mentioning that ICD-9 does include a more general code for glycogen storage diseases, which is 271.0.
It is essential to use the appropriate ICD code when documenting and billing for medical services related to Danon disease. Proper coding ensures accurate medical records, facilitates research, and aids in the reimbursement process. Healthcare professionals should consult the most up-to-date coding guidelines and documentation requirements to ensure accurate reporting of Danon disease.
