The ICD-10 code for Hypothyroidism, unspecified, is E03.9.
This code falls under the World Health Organization's (WHO) medical classification system, specifically within the range of Endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases. While E03.9 denotes unspecified hypothyroidism, other ICD-10 codes exist for more specific types of hypothyroidism. Here's a breakdown:
ICD-10 Codes for Hypothyroidism:
| ICD-10 Code | Description |
|---|---|
| E03 | Other hypothyroidism |
| E03.0 | Congenital hypothyroidism with diffuse goiter |
| E03.1 | Congenital hypothyroidism without goiter |
| E03.2 | Hypothyroidism due to medicaments |
| E03.3 | Postinfectious hypothyroidism |
| E03.4 | Other acquired hypothyroidism |
| E03.5 | Myxedema coma |
| E03.8 | Other specified hypothyroidism |
| E03.9 | Hypothyroidism, unspecified |
It's important to use the most specific code available based on the documented diagnosis. If the type of hypothyroidism is not specified, then E03.9 is the appropriate code.
