Wiki What icd-10 code should be used in Hashimoto's encephalopathy (HE)

[brookss]

A patient has been diagnosed with Hashimoto's encephalopathy (HE) which is a very rare autoimmune syndrome. Can you help me with the icd-10 code for it?

There is not a specific ICD-10 code. Use G04.81.

There is not a specific ICD-10 code. Use G04.81.

G04.81 is the code for "other encephalitis and encephalomyelitis."

Since you are looking for an encephalopathy, G93.49 - other encephalopathy, seems like a better fit.
