Frequently Asked Questions
What ICD-11 codes are in Chapter 20?
Chapter 20: Developmental Anomalies covers ICD-11 codes LA00-LD9Z. It contains 30 code blocks with 218 top-level categories.
What conditions does ICD-11 Chapter 20 cover?
Covers congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities including congenital heart defects, cleft lip and palate, Down syndrome, and spina bifida. ICD-11 renames this chapter and improves classification with better structural groupings. This chapter includes codes from LA00-LD9Z.
How is ICD-11 Chapter 20 different from ICD-10?
ICD-11 reorganized many chapters compared to ICD-10. Chapter 20 (Developmental Anomalies) may include conditions that were in different ICD-10 chapters, and some conditions previously here may have moved. ICD-11 also adds new chapters for sleep-wake disorders, sexual health, and traditional medicine that did not exist in ICD-10.
How many code blocks are in ICD-11 Chapter 20?
Chapter 20 has 30 code blocks: LA00-LA0Z (Structural developmental anomalies of the nervous system), LA00-LD0Z (Structural developmental anomalies primarily affecting one body system), LA10-LA1Z (Structural developmental anomalies of the eye, eyelid or lacrimal apparatus), LA20-LA2Z (Structural developmental anomalies of the ear), and 26 more.
