345.81 — Other forms of epilepsy and recurrent seizures, with intractable epilepsy
About ICD-9-CM 345.81
345.81 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other forms of epilepsy and recurrent seizures, with intractable epilepsy. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as G40.111 (Localization-related (focal) (partial) symptomatic epilepsy and epileptic syndromes with simple partial seizures, intractable, with status epilepticus), G40.119 (Localization-related (focal) (partial) symptomatic epilepsy and epileptic syndromes with simple partial seizures, intractable, without status epilepticus) and G40.804 (Other epilepsy, intractable, without status epilepticus). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
