1/7/2023 0 Comments Icd 10 code for fatigue![]() The ICD-10-CM is the US version of the International Classification of Diseases used to track diseases globally. Going forward, Americans diagnosed with ME/CFS, including any new cases following COVID, will no longer be invisible. This coding problem is finally being fixed in the 2023 release of the ICD-10-CM, being implemented October 1, 2022. The reason? ME/CFS is effectively nonexistent simply because ME/CFS is not being coded in US health records. And ME/CFS cases don’t show up in research using electronic health records. Nobody develops ME/CFS following an acute COVID-19 infection – despite all the evidence that shows they can and do. Americans don’t experience any morbidity (suffering, impairment) from ME/CFS. Since 2015, the 1-2.5 million Americans with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) have been effectively nonexistent, at least as far as US disease tracking systems are concerned.
