What ICD-10 Codes are Used for Raynaud’s Disease

Raynaud’s Disease, also known as Raynaud’s phenomenon or Raynaud’s syndrome, is a medical condition characterized by the constriction of blood vessels in response to cold or emotional stress, leading to reduced blood flow to the extremities, such as fingers and toes.

To accurately document and code for this condition in medical records, healthcare professionals utilize ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes. Here are the commonly used Raynaud’s Disease ICD-10 codes, along with clinical descriptions for each code:

  • I73.00 – Raynaud’s Syndrome without Gangrene: This code represents the primary form of Raynaud’s disease without tissue death. It describes the condition’s typical symptom of color changes in extremities upon exposure to cold or stress.
  • I73.01 – Raynaud’s Syndrome with Gangrene: This code is used when Raynaud’s syndrome leads to severe complications, such as tissue gangrene, which may require more aggressive treatment.
  • I73.09 – Other Raynaud’s Syndrome: Use this code for cases of Raynaud’s syndrome that do not fit into the previous categories. It covers various manifestations and severities of the syndrome.
  • I73.10 – Thromboangiitis Obliterans (Buerger’s Disease) without Gangrene: While Buerger’s Disease primarily affects the arteries of the hands and feet, it can exhibit Raynaud’s-like symptoms, making this code relevant for such cases without tissue death.
  • I73.11 – Thromboangiitis Obliterans (Buerger’s Disease) with Gangrene: Similar to the previous code, but for more severe gangrene cases.
  • I73.8 – Other Specified Peripheral Vascular Diseases: This code may apply to secondary forms of Raynaud’s phenomenon due to conditions like connective tissue disorders, which can present with similar symptoms.
  • I73.9 – Peripheral Vascular Disease, Unspecified: In cases where the specific diagnosis is unclear or unspecified, this code can indicate peripheral vascular issues, including Raynaud’s syndrome.
  • M34.0 – Progressive Systemic Sclerosis: Raynaud’s phenomenon is often a feature of systemic sclerosis, and this code is used to represent the condition when it is a component of the broader autoimmune disease.
  • G90.8 – Other Disorders of the Autonomic Nervous System: Raynaud’s disease can sometimes be linked to autonomic nervous system dysfunction, and this code may be used in such cases.
  • T69.0 – Effects of Reduced Temperature: This code may be used when Raynaud’s phenomenon occurs due to exposure to cold temperatures and results in tissue damage.

By using the appropriate ICD-10 codes, healthcare providers can accurately document Raynaud’s Disease and its various manifestations, aiding in proper diagnosis, treatment, and billing for related medical services.
