ICD to VA Diagnostic Code Lookup

Your military or private medical records, VA decision letter, and C&P exam report should list ICD-10 diagnosis codes (like G43.909 or M54.50). Records from before October 2015 often use the older ICD-9 codes (like 250.00) instead; paste those too, and the tool converts each one through its modern ICD-10 equivalent before matching a VA code. Some systems label entries with a SNOMED CT code instead (like SNOMED CT 10000006); those work as well, as long as the record says SNOMED beside the number, because a bare long number could just as easily be a claim or record number. A SNOMED code is not automatically a diagnosis: the same system codes findings, procedures, events and situations, so each one is labeled for what it is and only a concept the licensed release calls a disorder is offered a VA code here. For a claim to succeed you need three things: 1. Current Diagnosis, 2. In-Service Event, 3. A Nexus. When you are organizing your claim file you should know with certainty that you have actually been diagnosed by a physician. This tool will help you take codes from your medical file and see what VA Condition code they map to. You can also put in the condition you are claiming and get a list of ICD-10 codes to search for in your medical records to insure you have a Current Diagnosis nailed BEFORE you file. Keep in mind that the VA rates disabilities under its own diagnostic codes (38 CFR Part 4) and this tool just helps you correlate the coding systems. Paste your codes below to see which VA code each diagnosis is most commonly rated under, drawn from 40,328 mapped ICD-10 diagnoses.
