Trimethylaminuria Diagnosis Code for USA Health System :
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code : E72.52
It seems since 2015 TMAU has been given an 'official disease code' by the World Health Organisation, and so has an official code in the USA Healthcare System : E72.52
This is news to the blog, and so it's unclear what impact this has in practice.
Does it mean the TMAU test is billable to the Drs ?? (Denver test lab says no insurance).
Only time will tell.
Note : Info may be incorrect as it's deemed too important to wait for clarification etc. This is an evolving story.
Thanks to this lady for mentioning this in her article for Rare Disease Day 2021
it’s important to know that TMAU does have an ICD-10 code! In 2015, thanks to tireless advocates, the World Health Organization officially recognized trimethylaminuria as a disease. E72.52 is the billable ICD-10-CM code for trimethylaminuria.Listen to the Zebras: Observing Rare Disease Day
