Other specified disorders of parathyroid gland

This code represents parathyroid gland disorders that are not specifically classified elsewhere as hyperparathyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, or other defined conditions. It encompasses a range of less common or atypical parathyroid dysfunctions that impact calcium and phosphorus metabolism.

Use this code when documentation specifies a parathyroid disorder that doesn't fit into more specific ICD-9-CM categories, such as parathyroid cyst, parathyroid hemorrhage, or other non-functional anatomical anomalies of the gland. This code is appropriate when the physician explicitly diagnoses an "other specified disorder of parathyroid gland."

• Ensure the medical record clearly identifies a parathyroid disorder that is not hyper- or hypofunction.
• Avoid using this code if a more specific ICD-9-CM code for parathyroid disease is available.
• Query the provider if the documentation is vague regarding the specific nature of the parathyroid disorder.
