Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease is a wonderful re-classification/naming of CFS/ME in the United States & was wondering if any countries will be adopting this classification/naming
Welcome to Phoenix Rising!

I have felt strongly disappointed by the lack of adoption of Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease in the US. I'd consider it highly unlikely that other countries would adopt SEID, unless the US leads the way.Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease is a wonderful re-classification/naming of CFS/ME in the United States & was wondering if any countries will be adopting this classification/naming
There are and have been ICD codes specifically for ME in the US ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM.As there is no ICD code for ME (or SEID), doctors continue to write and say "chronic fatigue syndrome" or just "chronic fatigue". Continue to insist chronic fatigue (syndrome) is actually a primary sleep disorder, depression, dietary issue, somatic disorder, or fraud.
I stand corrected.There are and have been ICD codes specifically for ME in the US ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM.
That may be. Did he say this before or after October 2015? The ICD-9-CM code is 323.9 and the ICD-10-CM code is G93.3. It would be a little strange if they selectively loaded in certain codes from the ICD, but it wouldn't surprise me either.My doctor said he would like to diagnose me with ME, but says he has no available ICD code to use. I believe he refers to a list of ICD codes that the HMO provides on their computer system.
It was March or April 2015.That may be. Did he say this before or after October 2015? The ICD-9-CM code is 323.9 and the ICD-10-CM code is G93.3. It would be a little strange if they selectively loaded in certain codes from the ICD, but it wouldn't surprise me either.
@halcyon My doctor says, when he types Myalgic Encephalomyelitis into the problem list selction, it comes up.That may be. Did he say this before or after October 2015? The ICD-9-CM code is 323.9 and the ICD-10-CM code is G93.3. It would be a little strange if they selectively loaded in certain codes from the ICD, but it wouldn't surprise me either.
